Description:
Antique U.S. Springfield Model 1842 Percussion Musket
Mex-Am War Dated 1846 Last .69 American Smoothbore
Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Model 1842 Percussion Musket, made at Springfield Armory in 1846. The Model 1842 was a crossroads in U.S. firearms history. This was the last .69 caliber smoothbore produced by the U.S. It was also the first regulation model musket to be made in the percussion system and the first U.S. musket made at both Springfield and Harpers Ferry national arsenals. By no means were these out of service during the American Civil War. Soldiers from North & South would have carried these into battle.
This example is Mexican-American War dated. The lock is marked “SPRING/FIELD/1846”. The left side of the barrel is marked with view and proof marks. A bit of soldier graffiti is present on the stock: “C.A.S.”
The overall condition is good. The iron parts are dark and uniform with age. The markings are legible. The walnut stock shows that it was handled quite a bit and then smoothed out. There is a small sliver at the middle barrel band. The bore is smooth and dark. The action is strong.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 42 inches.
Caliber: .69 Percussion
Overall condition as seen in photos.
