Description:
U.S. Antique HARPERS FERRY M1816 Flintlock Musket
Unconverted & Dated “1828”
Here we present an antique U.S. Model 1816 3 Band Musket, made by Harpers Ferry in what was then Virginia (now West Virginia) circa 1828. The Model 1816 was the largest production of U.S. flintlock muskets, with an impressive run from 1816-1840. Both national armories, Springfield and Harpers Ferry, were involved as were about 16 different contractors. Conflicts during this period included numerous encounters with Native Americans, as well as the Mexican-American War.
This musket is one of those scarce specimens that remain unconverted to percussion from flintlock. The lock and the top of the barrel tang are dated “1828”. The back of the lock is marked “HARPERS FERRY”. There is a federal eagle over “US” in the center of the lock. The small metal parts, like screws and barrel bands have matching assembly numbers “2”. The left side of the barrel is marked with “V/P/eaglehead” proof marks.
The overall condition is good. The metal is dark with age. The markings are clear and legible. The walnut stock shows much use. It is solid with the exception of a repaired crack under the lock (see photos). The bore is smooth and clean. The action is strong.
