Description:
SOLD Commonly imported for the Civil War , witha bore of about .74 cal., 40 1/2'' barrel with an oxidized bore. The barrel and lockplate have aged to a brown-gray patina with some minor pitting around the bolster, a few impact marks on the barrel tang where the rear sight was removed, there is a small area of cleaning striations behind the middle band and scattered small spots of old light oxidation overall. The brass mountings display a dark mustard patina with some small spots of verdigris on the buttplate and some scattered spots of light tarnish and light handling marks throughout. The lockplate is marked ''(crown) / DANZIG / 1824'' while the left quarter flat of the breech is also dated 1824 and shows ''a softened ''(crown) / FW / P'' and what appears to be ''A 932'' is on the left side of the breech. The tang of the buttplate is stamped ''7 / 4. I. R. / 12. C.'' and all the other brass parts are marked ''28''. The European hardwood stock with sunken cheekpiece rates very good as lightly cleaned with a worn later added finish, a small chip missing from behind the hammer, a few cracks around the action, a short drying crack ahead of the buttplate tang and the typical scattered light handling marks from the years. A softened ''A / 9 3 2'' is on the left side of the buttstock and the faint remnants of a couple cartouches are on the left stock flat. As previously stated, the rear sight has been removed, the upper sling swivel is missing, the upper barrel band stud has been replaced with a screw, the bayonet lug, front sight and rear sling swivel are intact, the button-head ramrod is a later replacement and the action remains robust. A solid example of these historic percussion-converted Prussian muskets used in the Civil War. When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have a web site .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You
