Description:
Antique HARPERS FERRY US Model 1816 Rifle-Musket
DATED “1830” & Converted During the Civil War-era
Here we present an antique U.S. Model 1816 3 Band Musket, made by Harpers Ferry, circa 1830, then updated to percussion around the time of the American Civil War. 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.
The lock is marked with a federal eagle over “U.S.” The back of the lock is marked “HARPERS/FERRY/1830”. Government inspector view marks are very clear on the left side of the stock “PH/V”, “JH/V” and “EB/3”. “VP” federal proof marks are on the left side of the barrel. The initials “D.A.M” are stamped on the back of the butt plate. The number “27” is stamped deeply into the butt plate tang and just ahead of the tang in the walnut stock. This could be a rack number. Screws, trigger guard, barrel bands, etc. all have a matching assembly number “5”.
The overall condition is near fine. The metal surfaces are smooth and bright. The markings are deep, clear and legible. The walnut stock shows handling but is nice and smooth overall. The bore is well-rifled and clean. The action is excellent. Here is a fantastic-looking piece of history that made it through several American wars in fabulous condition.
