CIVIL WAR Antique HARPERS FERRY M1816 Bolster Conversion Percussion MUSKET
Flintlock to Percussion Musket Converted c. 1852
Here we present an antique Harpers Ferry U.S. Model 1816 Percussion Conversion Musket, manufactured in Harpers Ferry, Virginia circa 1841. The M1816 was in production at Springfield (325,000) and Harpers Ferry (350,000) between 1816 to 1844 with around 675,000 muskets produced during this run. Additionally, more than a dozen contractors also made Model 1816 Muskets.
The advent of the Model 1842 Musket made the M1816 obsolete, but not unserviceable. Eventually, most made their way to storehouses and armories. Beginning in 1848, when more than 700,000 of all types of flintlock muskets were reported in storage, the most serviceable were converted to percussion ignition. Three types of alteration were performed. All alterations involved grinding the flash pan down and replacing the hammer.
The overall condition is good. An original brown patina is preserved. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. The stock is solid throughout with only an average amount of wear. “1841” dated lock. Markings are sharp. “G 8” is stamped on the top left side of the wrist next to the barrel tang. A very interesting musket updated just in time for the American Civil War!
