CONFEDERATE 1862 DATED RICHMOND RIFLE MUSKET.

CONFEDERATE 1862 DATED RICHMOND RIFLE MUSKET. SN NSN. Cal. 58. You are bidding on a Richmond rifled musket that appears all original and complete. Lockplate on this gun is marked “CS/RICHMOND VA” forward of lock and “1862” rear of lock. The bbl has no discernible date however it does have the correct “VP” over eagle head proof. All three bands along with trigger guard and brass buttplate appear original and are of Richmond manufacture. Brass nose cap appears correct, however for its retention, two steel pins have been added to either side. These pins appear original and possibly added during the war as quite often these guns are missing nose caps. The ramrod appears original to time of use of gun, however it is for a Model 1855 U.S. rifled musket. The swell in this ramrod causes the tip to bend away from bbl as can be seen in photos. Stock has been sanded and has lost its shoulders but has maintained nice red color often seen in Richmond muskets. Richmond muskets are difficult to find that are truly untouched and “as found” condition. This gun fits into that category as being an honest Richmond musket that has not been tinkered with in any major way. CONDITION: Metal surfaces are smooth and brown with scattered staining and pitting. Markings are very good as can be seen in photos. Brass buttplate and nose cap have deep patinas. Stock has numerous dings, gouges and scratches and has been sanded losing its shoulder opposite lock. Stock has one worn area from lock seer at back of lock. There is a 2″ sliver of wood missing at front bottom of lock. Bbl still exhibits good discernible rifling though gun appears to have been shot a lot. 4-40099 JS31 (7,000-9,000)
