Antique HARPERS FERRY U.S. 1842 Percussion MUSKET
Antebellum Musket Made in 1846
Here we present an antique Harpers Ferry U.S. Model 1842 Percussion Musket, manufactured circa 1846 in Harpers Ferry, Virginia. The Model 1842 was the first regulation percussion musket to be manufactured at both Springfield and Harpers Ferry Armories, as well as the first to be produced by both national armories with fully-interchangeable parts. These were also the last .69 caliber smoothbore arms to be produced by the U.S. government. Approximately 275,000 were manufactured between 1844 and 1855, with only one-third of these produced at Harpers Ferry. Along with usage during the Mexican-American War in 1846 through 1848, these would have been in the hands of local militia all over the antebellum United States and used by both combatants at the outbreak of the American Civil War.
This specimen was made during the Mexican-American War. The lock is marked “HARPERS FERRY 1845” and also has federal eagle stamp over US. The underside of the lock is marked “U.S.” and the barrel is dated “1846”.
The overall condition is very good or better. The iron surfaces have a gray patina. The markings are clear. The walnut stock is dark with the expected wear from a 160 year old musket. The bore is smooth and dusty. The action is excellent. Here is a very nicely preserved, war-dated US musket that would have been in use during the American Civil War!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 42 inches.
Caliber: .69 Percussion
