1863 DATED RICHMOND RIFLED-MUSKET.

1863 DATED RICHMOND RIFLED-MUSKET. Cal. 58. This Richmond rifled-musket appears all original and of Confederate manufacture. Metal and stock have all been cleaned, but all fit well and are correctly marked and make this a desirable, complete Confederate long arm. The lock markings “CS/Richmond VA” and “1863” on lock are well struck and are much better than average. The bbl is “VP”/eagle head proofed and has the correct break in the die associated with Richmond. The rear sight is the correct style, but appears new to the gun. The accompanying ramrod, which is in very good condition is smooth, properly tapered and appears to be original Richmond rifled-musket rod. The attached sling appears to be a reproduction, but made in the correct style of heavy canvas and leather. PROVENANCE: Fred B. McDonald Estate Collection. CONDITION: Bbl overall is gray, cleaned with scattered pitting as are bbl bands and trigger guard. The lock is smoother with scattered pitting especially at bolster. Ramrod is in very good condition being smooth and dark overall. Brass buttplate and nose cap are correct and fit well with scattered small scratches and dings. Stock appears cleaned and refinished with scattered nicks and scratches. There is a gap at the bottom of lock which is typical in Richmond’s where mainspring falls and wallows a small gap in wood. 4-41428 JS35 (6,000-8,000)
