1844 Dated Antique SPRINGFIELD ARMORY M1842 .69 Caliber Smoothbore MUSKET
ANTEBELLUM Made Civil War Musket with BAYONET!
Here we present a Springfield Armory U.S. Model 1842 Percussion Musket, manufactured circa 1849 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.
The overall condition is very good. The action is strong. The bore is smooth and gray. “US” is stamped on the butt plate. “SPRING/FIELD/1844” is marked on the rear of the lock, along with the Federal Eagle stamp over “US” on the front. The barrel tang is dated “1849”. The socket bayonet is in good condition and is also stamped “US”. This piece would be excellent in a historical display above the mantle or in the office!
