Description:
Springfield Model 1840 flintlock musket, 69 caliber, 42" round barrel secured by three barrel bands. 30,421 produced. This is a D. Nippes contract Model 1840 musket. 5,600 built, 1842 - 1848. The other contractor was L. Pomeroy, producing about 6,000, 1840 - 1846. Over 95% of all muskets produced were converted to percussion. Some were restored back to flintlock in later years. This D. Nippes Model 1840 is a rare original flintlock, not reconverted. Lower tang is stamped D. Nippes 1847 No. 3 20th Century Fox. In my research I found that 20th Century Fox did not keep records of their movie used firearms. In a recent sale an original Model 1840 Springfield sold for $6,900. The two contract muskets tend to be worth 20% less. This D. Nippes 1840 Musket has a minor wood repair at the breach which is not uncommon in antique muzzle loaders. Fully functional, bright metal, all original including sling. A rare Military and motion picture treasure.
