Antique SPRINGFIELD ARMORY 1842 Percussion MUSKET
Antebellum US Musket Made in 1846!
Here we present an antique Springfield Armory U.S. Model 1842 Percussion Musket, manufactured circa 1846 in Springfield, Massachusetts. From the period of 1844 until 1855, about 275,000 Model 1842 muskets were manufactured at the Springfield and Harpers Ferry Armories, along with some being made by private providers commissioned to assist in production. 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. Sights were not included in the smoothbore’s design, but arrived later as the muskets were rifled later in its life. 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.
This one has a unit marking of “18/G” on the barrel tang. The lock is marked “Springfield/1846” and also has the Federal Eagle stamp over U.S. An ordnance inspection mark is visible on the left stock flat.
The overall condition is near fine. The iron parts have semi-bright. The markings are clear. The walnut stock is in fine shape. The bore is smooth and clean. The action is excellent.
