RICHMOND MUSKETOON.

RICHMOND MUSKETOON. Cal. 58. NSN. 30” bbl, 46” overall length. There is a lot of controversy over this particular configuration. Articles have been written that 30” bbl do not exist as Confederate usage, but they do turn up, though probably not made during the Civil War, but as postwar configurations for militia or commercial use. Generally, stocks associated with these guns are not Richmond, as is with this gun. However, this gun does have a correct brass Richmond butt-plate and nose cap. Gun has two iron bands, and an iron trigger-guard w/ two iron slings. Attached to slings is an orig linen sling often attributed to the Confederacy. Lock is genuine Richmond lock-plate, “C.S. / RICHMOND” forward of hammer. Rear of hammer lock is dated 1863. CONDITION: Stock is solid and sound, brass butt-plate and nose cap appear to be on this gun for a very long time. Iron components including bbl lock and bands have been cleaned and are all heavily pitted. Ramrod appears to be cut down from a Springfield musket rod. Edwards Collection 4-58554 JS21 (2,000-3,000)

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.
