Description:
CIVIL WAR Antique PRUSSIAN POTSDAM M1809 Conversion MUSKET w/BAYONET
State Armory PERCUSSION MUSKET Made circa the 1810s
Here we present an antique Prussian Percussion Conversion Model 1809 Musket, manufactured circa the 1810s at the Prussian Armory at Potsdam. This example would have started out life as a flintlock musket that was converted likely sometime just before the start of the American Civil War. The Potsdam musket was the standard infantry weapon of the Royal Prussian Army from the 18th century until the military reforms of the 1840s. Four models were produced at Potsdam, including the Model 1723, the Model 1740, the Model 1809, and the Model 1831.
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 as late as 1864 during 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 very good. Traces of original finish. The stock is in fine condition with legible cartouches. The action is robust. The bore is dark. Legible markings. Missing Ramrod. Good bayonet.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 41-1/8 inches.
