Description:
Excellent condition original, 1864-dated, 58 caliber Model 1861 “Providence Contract” percussion rifle-musket. A product of the Providence Tool Company of Rhode Island. (circa 1862-65) Providence was one of the major contractors in the Civil War supplying the government with some 70,000 such weapons for the army. This musket is remarkably complete and retains its original stock, iron nipple and bolster screw, “C” shaped hammer, swell-shaped ramrod with threaded tip, all barrel bands, sling swivels, and butt strap. Breech area near the nipple and bolster area reflects light to moderate pitting from use. Black walnut stock is in excellent condition. Few dings are visible on the stock with a sliver missing along the ramrod channel. (Shown well in photos) .
Visible cartouche on the flat opposite the hammer. Lockplate shows a spread winged eagle motif that is flanked by letters “U.” and “S.” / PROVIDENCE TOOL Co. / PROVIDENCE R I”. Stamped on lockplate behind the C-shaped hammer is “1864”. Top flat of breech has pitting but the 1864-date is clearly visible. Government proof marks “V / P / eagle head” visible on the left facet. Side facet of the barrel is stamped with inspector’s letter “M”. The original tulip-head, swelled shank steel ramrod rests in the groove in the forend of the stock. Rod retains its threaded tip. A fine, original Civil War contract longarm.
