Description:
***SALE PENDING*** US Springfield M 1858 "Cadet" Musket...LAYAWAY?.... .58 caliber, correct 38" barrel, no S/N. Bright finish, walnut stock with three flat spring-retained barrel bands and a brass nose cap. Lock marked U.S./SPRINGFIELD forward of the primer magazine door with the usual {spread-winged eagle} on the door and dated 1860 at the tail. Breech dated 1859 with the usual V/P/{eagle head} proof marks on the angled flat. ESA cartouche on stock. Rear sight is an M1864 leaf sight. Rear sling swivel replaced. Retains what appears to be a correct pattern 1858 Cadet swelled-shank ramrod with threads at the end. Stock measures 50" overall and is correctly proportioned for an M1858 cadet rifle musket with correct barrel bands spacing. Only 2,501 M1858 cadet rifle muskets were produced at Springfield in two production runs in 1858 and 1860. The earlier production guns featured the M1855 pattern long range rear sight and a brass nose cap, while the later production guns had an iron nose cap and the later short-base M1858 rear sight. The first production guns were dated 1858 while the later production guns were dated 1860. This gun has a mixture of features with a brass nose cap, 1860 dated lock and an uncommonly 1859 dated barrel. The barrel does have the correct steady pin notch under the rear sight, so a correct pattern 1858 sight could be added to make the gun more correct...….CONDITION:... Very good+. Metal lightly cleaned with a dulling pewter patina and some scattered age discoloration and minor surface oxidation. Markings remain clear and crisp in metal, stock unmarked. Mechanically great, tape primer system remains complete and fully functional. Bore very good with scattered oxidation and some light pitting. Stock fine, with crisp edges and a feathery texture showing only some scattered minor bumps and dings. ..... 2nd firearm ships FREE with this one!!!....WITH CONFIDENCE! S/H $45 (48 STATES). Thanks!....Greg a45,49,74-76
