Description:
PRUSSIAN Antique POTSDAM M1809 INFANTRY Musket
Percussion Shotgun Conversion
Here we present an antique Prussian Model 1809 Percussion Musket, manufactured circa 1820. The Model 1809 was originally made in the flintlock format, with later production shifting to the more modern and reliable percussion firing system. This musket would have been used in Prussian conflicts during the 1840s and 50s, including the Egyptian-Ottoman War, the Greater Poland Uprising, the Revolutions of 1848, and the First Schleswig War, before being sold to the United States government in the first years of the American Civil War. Though thoroughly obsolete, both the Union and the Confederacy were desperate for small arms as the South had little capability to make their own and the North had to scramble to ramp up their own production.
This one very well may have seen action during the Civil War. It looks like it has been to hell and back. This once lengthy musket was shortened long ago, possibly for use from the back of a horse. A thin sheet of brass has been fashioned for use as a barrel band. The left side of the barrel is marked “1820”. This little musket is still full of Prussian makings throughout.
The metal surfaces are dark with age. The bore is dark. The stock shows its wear and age. The action on this musket is nonfunctioning.
