OHIO STATE MILITIA FRENCH M1842 RIFLE-MUSKET .69 TULLE CIVIL WAR Antique
American Civil War Import from France
Here we present an antique Ohio Marked French Model 1842 Rifled Musket, manufactured circa 1847 at the Tulle Arsenal in Tulle, France. The Tulle Arsenal was one of the main French small arms producing centers from the 17th century through to the 20th. It was, though, of lesser importance to the main arsenals at Saint-Étienne, Maubeuge, and Châtellerault. This is an example of one of the tens of thousands of European muskets and rifles imported to arm early war volunteers in the American Civil War.
There were many muskets purchased by the Union agent Hartley throughout Europe. This weapon was imported in large quantities and was issued, and disliked, by thousands of Union infantrymen. There are no records of any Southern contracts and Confederate usage would have been limited to capture or battlefield pick-ups.
Imported arms played a key role in the early years of the war before the U.S. armories and contractors could catch up in production. Some estimates of imported French and Belgian arms place their numbers close to 150,000 examples.
The overall condition is very good. Nice patina. The action is excellent. OHIO marked twice on the stock. The bore is well-rifled and patinated. The walnut stock shows use and remains solid.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 42-5/8 inches.
