Description:
LAYAWAY? 1859 dated m1855 Springfield musket. Early Civil War usage with primer caps...........58 cal., 40” barrel with a bright very good bore showing some areas of light pitting in the strong rifling. The metal surfaces are toning to a gray patina. Light handling marks and some scattered small spots of light oxidation staining and the steel forend cap is an attractive warm ochre patina. All metal markings are correct and very crisp with both the barrel and lockplate dated 1850. The American black walnut stock rates about fine as perhaps lightly cleaned with a touch of added finish, and the expected scattered light dings and handling marks from military service, but very minor. Very faint remnants of inspection no cartouche left flat. The original sights including the long range rear are intact, a correct cupped tulip-head ramrod with swelled shank is included, but is possibly a replacement. The primer mechanism appears to function well mechanically and the action is very strong and crisp. This Model 1855 Type I is sure to make a welcome addition to your Civil War collection......
