CONFEDERATE RICHMOND RIFLED MUSKET

CONFEDERATE RICHMOND RIFLED MUSKET. Cal .58, 40″ bbl. This particular Richmond Musket has much better than average metal generally associated with these guns. The bbl date on 1863s is missing probably 95% of the time. This gun has crisp bbl date along with “VP” and eagle head proofs. The break in the top of the “P” which should be seen in these proofs is present. Brass buttplate and nosecap have pleasant, untouched patina. CONDITION: Bbl is overall smooth gray/brown with scattered staining & pitting. Bbl markings are very good as can be seen in photos, as are lock markings. Hammer utilized on this gun is from a Model 1855 but has matching color to remainder of gun and no doubt grew up with it. The ramrod is from an 1855 Musket and its swell has caused a large chip in ramrod channel and nosecap & front band. There is considerable wood restoration at wrist, including a repair to where it has broken through and several new inset pieces. There is also an inset piece of wood about 2″ long under lock. Otherwise, stock is sound & solid with normal storage dings & dents. The bore in this gun shows distinct rifling though rusted. 4-45771 JS51 (6,000-8,000)
