Description:
Here we present an antique Harpers Ferry U.S. Model 1842 Percussion Musket, manufactured in 1844 in Virginia. This was a customer walk-in to our antique shop from Jamestown TN. Overall condition is outstanding considering it is over 180 years old! The action is crisp and holds strong on the half cock and full cock. Said to have seen service in the middle Tennessee area, (Nashville Franklin) during the civil war. Completely original except for the sling that I added for completion. It is a older sling not Civil War old. These photos should tell the story. The Model, 1842 was the first regulation percussion musket to be manufactured at both Springfield and Harpers Ferry Armories, as well as the first to be produced by both national armories with fully-interchangeable parts. These were also the last .69 caliber smoothbore arms to be produced by the U.S. government. Approximately 275,000 were manufactured between 1844 and 1855, with only one-third of these produced at Harpers Ferry. Along with usage during the Mexican-American War in 1846 through 1848, these would have been in the hands of local militia all over the antebellum United States and used by both combatants at the outbreak of the American Civil War.The lock is marked “HARPERS/FERRY/1844”, has federal eagle stamp. The top of the butt plate is marked “U.S.” The markings are clear and legible. The bore is clean and smooth. The walnut stock is in good shape. Own a handsome example of Civil War history!
