Antique U.S. SPRINGFIELD ARMORY Model 1795 FLINTLOCK WAR of 1812 Era Musket
U.S. Military Musket w/1808 Dated LOCK & BUTTPLATE
Here we present an antique U.S. Springfield Model 1795 Flintlock Musket, manufactured in 1808 at the Springfield Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts. The Model 1795 was a smooth bore, flintlock based musket and the first weapon system to be produced within the United States. It was designed very closely patterning the French “Charleville” Flintlock Musket that was used to by the colonists against the British during the American Revolutionary War.
Springfield Armory produced 80,000 of these muskets, with Harpers Ferry responsible for another 70,000. Production of this musket ran from 1795 through 1818. She found her way into several important American conflicts of the time, including the War of 1812 between the United States and the British Empire, the Mexican-American War, and even the Civil War. The 1795 would also be taken along by members of the American expedition led by Lewis and Clark from 1803 to 1806. Use of the 1795 was recorded as late as 1865 for the southern Confederate forces who were still fielding her late in the Civil War.
The overall condition is fair. Reconverted to flintlock. The stock has seen extensive repairs from the area around the lock to the butt plate. The action is strong. The bore is dim and smooth.
