THIS FENCING MUSKET WITH MATCHING CORRECT BAYONET IS IN OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL CONDITION. IF ISSUED I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS NEVER USED FOR FENCING PRACTICE AS THERE ARE NO MARKS FROM SUCH ACTIVITY. THIS IS AN ALL ORIGINAL FENCING MUSKET WHICH IS 100% CORRECT AS DISCRIBED IN "THE .45-70 SPRINGFIELD" BY JOE POYER AND CRAIG RIESCH.
THE HIGH ARCHBREECH BLOCK IS IS MARKED "MODEL/1873/EAGLE/CROSSED ARROWS" AND IT HAS NICE BRIGHT CASE COLORS. ALL ORIGINAL BLUING IS BEAUTIFUL AND THERE IS NO RUST OR PITTING THERE ARE A FEW MARKS AND SCRATCHES IN THE STOCK AS SHOWN IN THE ATTACHED PHOTOS. THE STOCK FINISH IS ORIGINAL AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN SANDED. THE SHARP CLEAR CARTOUCHE IS MARKED "SWP 1882". THE SERIAL NUMBER IS 179193. THE BARREL IS LEAD FILLED AS IT SHOULD BE AND THE HAMMER AND THUMB CATCH ARE REMOVED AS THEY SHOULD BE.
THE MATCHING BAYONET IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE ONLY BLEMISH IS LIGHTLY SCUFFED LEATHER ON THE BLUNT KNOB.. THE BAYONET IS THE SECOND VARIATION WITH THE KNOB CORRECTLY MARKED H.E.K. HOWEVER THE MARK IS OFF CENTER AND THE "K" DID NOT STRICK THE LEATHER SO IT DID NOT REGISTER..
THIS IS A VERY RARE FENCING MUSKET (ONLY 12,000 MADE) WITH MATCHING BAYONET IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ONE OF THESE FOR YOUR TRAPDOOR OR 1903 SPRINGFIELD COLLECTION IT WOULD BE VERY HARD TO IMPROVE ON THIS EXAMPLE.
PLEASE LOOK AT PHOTOS CAREFULLY AS THEY ARE THE BEST DISCRIPTION OF CONDITION.
I am sorry for the poor orientation of some of the photos. If you are interested in this item please let me know and I will email photos to you which will be much better than these. I simply could not get the photo upload lik to work properly for me.
This is not a gun so it can be shipped directly to you with no FFL required. FREE Shipping to the lower 48 states.
