ANTEBELLUM Antique HARPERS FERRY U.S. 1842 Musket
Antebellum Musket Made Circa 1853 with Bayonet
Here we present a Harpers Ferry U.S. Model 1842 Percussion Musket, manufactured circa 1853 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 nearly two-thirds of these produced at Springfield. 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.
The lock is marked “HARPERS/FERRY/1852” and also has federal eagle stamp. The top of the barrel is marked “V”, “P” with an eagle head. The top of the butt plate is marked “U.S.” The top of the barrel is dated “1853”.
The overall condition is very good. The metal surfaces have a gray-brown patina. The markings are clear and legible. The bore is smooth and dark. The walnut stock is in good shape. The action on this musket is excellent. Own a fantastic example of United States military history!
