Description:
CIVIL WAR Antique IMPORT “SC” VOLUNTEERS Musket
Converted from Tubelock to Percussion in Liege
Here we present an antique Austrian Model 1849 Kammerbuchsen Musket, made circa the 1850s in Austria. This musket was originally built with a tubelock firing mechanism, but was converted in Liege, Belgium before being sold to the US government during the American Civil War. Arms shortages were most acutely felt for the North in the early years of the war, before domestic production was able to ramp up. These saw significant service in the Western Theater in states like Missouri.
This example is marked “SC/VOLS/1862 on the lock, which was likely used by the Confederacy in South Carolina in the early days of the civil war. This musket utilized a drum type percussion conversion in Liege, Belgium. All hardware is made of iron.
The overall condition is very good. The iron parts have a dark gray patina. The markings are legible. The stock is in good shape and showing lots of use. There is a small graft on the left side where the front sling swivel is located. The bore is smooth and clean. The action is strong. This is a handsome and distinctive example of a neat Civil War import!
