Description:
PRUSSIAN Antique POTSDAM M1809 INFANTRY Musket
Made in 1824 at the Armory at Potsdam
Here we present an antique Prussian Potsdam Model 1809 Musket, manufactured circa 1824 at the Prussian armory at Potsdam. The Model 1809 was originally made in the flintlock format, with later production shifting to the more modern and reliable percussion firing system.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 “POTSDAM”. The barrel is dated “1824”. The butt plate tang is unit marked “N 124/20 R”.
The overall condition is good. The metal surfaces are dark with age. The markings are clear and legible. The stock is in good shape, showing appropriate wear for the age. The bore is dark. The action on this musket is strong.
