Description:
CIVIL WAR PRUSSIAN Antique POTSDAM Model 1809 Percussion INFANTRY Musket
Made Circa 1837 at the Armory at Potsdam
Here we present an antique Prussian Potsdam Model 1809 Musket, manufactured circa 1837 at the Prussian armory at Potsdam. The Model 1809 was originally made in the flintlock format, with later production shifting to the more modern and reliable percussion firing system. This musket would have been used in Prussian conflicts during the 1840s and 50s, including the Egyptian-Ottoman War, the Greater Poland Uprising, the Revolutions of 1848, and the First Schleswig War, before being sold to the United States government in the first years of the American Civil War. Though thoroughly obsolete, both the Union and the Confederacy were desperate for small arms as the South had little capability to make their own and the North had to scramble to ramp up their own production.
The overall condition is good. The action is strong. The bore is in good shape, smooth and dark. “1837” is stamped atop the barrel. “1837/20R7C/230” is marked on the buttplate tang, which is a unit marking. The lock reads “POTSDAM”. This example has a solid stock. A great piece with dual Prussian and American history!
