Description:
Antique “MISSISSIPPI RIFLE” Model 1841 from Vermont
Scarce Variant by Robbins, Kendall & Lawrence
Here we present an antique U.S. Model 1841 “Mississippi” Rifle-Musket, made on contract by Robbins, Kendall & Lawrence of Windsor, Vermont, in 1847. Only 10,000 were made by the company (as compared to a total combined production of about 70,000), and it is the only contract work they are known to have done. The Mississippi Rifle is so called because its service life included the Mexican-American War, during which Jefferson Davis (future president of the Confederacy) led his Mississippi troops, who carried and favored the rifle. It was a rugged and reliable weapon used all the way through the American Civil War. The large brass patchbox distinguishes this model from its contemporaries. Now as then, it is still a very handsome military arm.
The lock is marked “Robbins,/Kendall &/Lawrence/U.S.” and “WINDSOR VT./1847”. The left side of the stock bears the government inspector marks of Captain William Anderson Thornton and what appears to be “JAG”, which would be the initials of James A. Greer. Sub-inspector markings throughout. The top of the brass butt plate is marked “US”. A large brass patchbox is located on the right side of the stock with both barrel bands being made of brass as well. This specimen’s bore was opened up to .60 caliber smooth bore during the period of its use.
The overall condition is fair to good. The metal is dark and uniform with age. The brass parts have a light verdigris. The markings are clear and legible. The walnut stock has been repaired around the wrist. The bore is smooth and dark. The action is very good.
