Description:
PRUSSIAN Antique M1809 Percussion INFANTRY Musket
Unit Marked on the Butt Plate
Here we present an antique Antique Prussian Model 1809 Infantry Musket, manufactured at the Prussian Armory at Neisse. The Model 1809 was originally made in the flintlock format, with later production shifting to the more modern and reliable percussion firing system.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.
The lock is marked “CROWN/NEISSE”. The top of the barrel is marked “189/P”. The left side of the barrel is marked “CROWN/B”. The left side of the stock is marked “VII/SW”. The top of the butt is marked “322/189/23 SW/9”. The bottom of the stock is stamped “GE”.
The overall condition is very good. The metal surfaces are smooth and dark with age. The markings are clear and legible. The bore is smooth and dark. The stock is in great shape, displaying all kinds of arsenal and acceptance markings. The action on this musket is excellent.
