Description:
MINTY!!!!.....LAYAWAY? .........MINTY ,Hewes & Phillips Type II Alteration of a Springfield Armory Model 1828 (1816 Type III) Musket...LAYAWAY? .69 caliber. 42" round barrel secured by three flat, spring retained bands. SN: NSN. National Armory Bright finish, iron furniture, smooth walnut stock. Single shot muzzleloading percussion altered US military musket. Lock marked with a {SPREAD-WINGED EAGLE} / US forward of the hammer and in three vertical lines at the tail: SPRING / FIELD / 1835. Hewes & Phillips added patent breech dated 1862 with H&P mark on face of bolster. Counterpane with two fine script cartouches, the TW of arsenal sub-inspector Thomas Warner and the EB cartouche of Elizur Bates. Altered to percussion by the firm of Hewes & Phillips of Newark, NJ and additionally modified by adding a US 1858 pattern 3-leaf rear sight at the breech but without rifling the bores. Approximately 12,000 guns were so altered with patent breeches, and long range rear sights without rifled bores, primarily for the US government. Musket retains both original sling swivels, the H&P added, tall iron front sight on the upper band, the small socket bayonet mounting lug on the top of the barrel near the muzzle and a full-length original button head ramrod with good threads at the end. This is a truly fine condition example of one of these alterations. CONDITION: VERY FINE-EXCELLENT. Metal very lightly cleaned to remain "National Armory Bright" with some minor areas of freckled oxidation and discoloration. Rear sight with much of its blue remaining. Markings remain crisp throughout. Mechanically functional, fine, bright smooth bore. Crisp stock with strong lines and edges and only some scattered minor bumps, dings and mars.
