PALMETTO ARMORY MUSKET.

PALMETTO ARMORY MUSKET. SN NSN. Cal 69. 42″ bbl. You are bidding on an attic condition Model 1842 Palmetto musket. This classic secondary Confederate longarm was sold by William Glaise to the state of South Carolina in 1852. This model is found with many variant features. The most desirable features on this model are all represented in this gun. The lockplate is marked forward of hammer in a circle “Palmetto Armory S*C” enclosing a bushy palmetto tree. The bbl on left side is correctly marked “W.G. & Co”. Above the manufacturer’s mark is stamped “V/P/palmetto tree proof”. “SC” is stamped on the tang. The lock escutcheon plate and buttplate are badly pitted so the “SC” proof on buttplate is not discernible. Unique to Palmetto 1842 model guns are brass bands and the bayonet lug is on bottom of bbl. Nicely carved on forestock “42 H, BRUII”. Meanings of these markings are unknown. This is a nice, honest example of the popular South Carolina, Confederate used long gun in very presentable and above average condition. CONDITION: Metal overall is brown/gray with scattered rust and pitting to bbl and lock. Stock overall is sound with scattered scratches, dings and scuffs. There is a 2″ piece of wood broken behind bolster and a 2″ x 3/4″ piece missing under the back side of lock, as can be seen in photos. Bbl markings are very good though palmetto tree is a bit weak. Lock markings are very good and sharp, the palmetto tree of this variety is usually better struck, as can be seen in photographs here. Buttplate is heavily pitted, as is lockplate escutcheon and trigger guard. 4-37742 JS12 (5,000-7,000)
