CIVIL WAR Antique French Model 1816 .67 Cal. WURTTEMBERG CONVERSION Musket
Rifled CIVIL WAR Musket with SOCKET BAYONET
Here we present an antique French Model 1816 Percussion Conversion Musket, made in 1820 at the Charleville Arsenal. This gun started out life as a French Model 1816 "Charleville" Flintlock Musket, part of the long line of French Flintlock musket versions. These were the standard muskets of the line from 1717 until the percussion Model of 1842. This was one of the last flintlock models put into service. The Model 1816 was only produced for six years before the Model 1822 was introduced.
This flintlock Rifle was converted to percussion in Württemberg for the German Grand Duchy of Baden, and very likely being later sold into the United States, probably to the Confederacy for the Civil War. There looks to be regimental markings on the butt plate, possibly German, and the side of the barrel is marked with serial number 842. This is an example of the many interesting European cast-off weapons that crossed the ocean to serve during the American Civil War, having been updated to percussion prior to sale.
The overall condition is very good. Robust action. The bore is bright with thin rifling, but slightly dims towards the muzzle. Solid stock throughout and remains in very good shape. Markings are worn. “842” is marked on the left barrel flat. “1820” dated barrel. The bayonet is in good shape.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 42-5/8 inches.
