1862 DATED RICHMOND RIFLED-MUSKET.

1862 DATED RICHMOND RIFLED-MUSKET. Cal. 58. This standard Richmond rifled-musket with 40″ bbl appears original and authentic throughout. All markings appear correct and the “CS/Richmond VA” and “1862” lock markings are above average for clarity as can be seen in photos. This particular gun is probably manufactured early in ’62 as all parts appear to be Confederate manufacture with the exception of the Model 1855 hammer and 1855 iron nose cap which the Richmond armory was still using up from captured Harper’s Ferry parts. Bands all have the correct “U” stamped in the Richmond style. The “VP” proof on the bbl is partially discernible. The rear sight appears original though its screw appears replaced. Ramrod appears original and of correct style, though its patina does not match the rest of the metal on the gun. All in all, this appears to be a very nice example of an 1862 Richmond that would display very well. PROVENANCE: Fred B. McDonald Estate Collection. CONDITION: Stock appears refinished with several slivers of wood replaced. Metal parts have all been cleaned including brass buttplate, iron nose cap, bands, bbl and lock. All have pitted areas especially around bolster. 4-41427 JS36 (5,000-7,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2011

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
