CIVIL WAR Antique AUSTRIAN IMPORT 1849 Musket
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique AUSTRIAN IMPORT 1849 Musket Converted from Tubelock to Percussion in Liege Here we present an antique Austrian Model 1849 Kammerbuchsen Musket, made circa the 1850s in Austrian. This musket was originally built with a tubelock firing mechanism, but was converted in Liege, Belgium before being sold to the US government during the American Civil War. Arms shortages were most acutely felt for the North in the early years of the war, before domestic production was able to ramp up. These saw significant service in the Western Theater in states like Missouri. This example is marked “93/1C” on the top of the butt plate, which is most likely a unit marking. This musket utilized a drum type percussion conversion and the work done in Liege is still apparent. The trigger guard, side plate and butt plate are brass, whereas the other hardware is iron. The overall condition is fair. The iron and brass surfaces are very dark with age. This musket probably saw significant weathering. The wood stock has been sanded fairly smooth, likely quite a while ago. The bore is smooth and untouched. The action is functional, but rough. Here is a very affordable Civil War musket to put on your wall! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 33-1/4 inches. Caliber: .71 percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $850 #5068 SOLD Antique: Yes |
