1821 Dated CIVIL WAR Era PRUSSION Danzig M1809 Percussion Conversion Musket
Early 1800s Prussian DANZIG ARSENAL Produced
Here we present an antique Prussian Danzig Arsenal Model 1809 Percussion Conversion Musket, manufactured by the Danzig Arsenal in 1821. This example would have started out life as a flintlock and converted to percussion, likely just prior to the American Civil War. Danzig is presently a city in Poland but was an important region in Prussia at the time this musket was made. The Model 1809 was originally made in the flintlock format, with later production shifting to the more modern and reliable percussion firing system.
This musket would have been used in Prussian conflicts during the 1840s and 50s, including the Egyptian-Ottoman War, the Greater Poland Uprising, the Revolutions of 1848, and the First Schleswig War, before being sold to the United States government in the first years of the American Civil War. Though thoroughly obsolete, both the Union and the Confederacy were desperate for small arms as the South had little capability to make their own and the North had to scramble to ramp up their own production.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. The stock has an expected amount of dents and dings, with a few stable grain splits near the buttplate. Markings are legible. “1821” dated lock and barrel.
