CONFEDERATE USED HALL MODEL 1819 CONVERSION MUSKET. Cal. 54. NSN. Confederate conversion of this flintlock musket is quite unusual. It has 32-3/4″ bbl with two bands, sling swivels & the arched iron trigger guard/grip. Conversion was accomplished by forging part of a hammer onto the bottom jaw of the flintlock hammer with a nosecup added. Frizzen & pan obviously were eliminated with a nipple added. Left top side of the frame is stamped “S. CAROLINA”. It is accompanied by a Confederate converted socket bayonet that apparently didn’t fit so well as it sticks when installed and there are heavy hammer marks on the bottom of the neck. CONDITION: Very good to fine. Bbl retains about 80% strong orig brown with a few nicks & dings & a scrape toward the muzzle. Top of the frame has been wire wheel cleaned with heavy pitting. Stock was apparently shattered through the wrist and is now very nicely repaired with a replaced section behind the receiver & some fill on the left side by the receiver. It has a crack forward of the trigger guard and there are four notches carved in the comb. Overall it has usual handling & use marks and generally retains a fine hand worn patina. Bayonet is silver/gray with moderate pitting. Mechanics are fine, strong sharp bore with light pitting in the grooves. 4-57272 JR774 (4,000-7,000)
