1816 DATED Antique U.S. HARPERS FERRY ARSENAL M1816 FLINTLOCK Musket
United States Armory Composite MILITARY MUSKET
Here we present an antique Harpers Ferry U.S. Model 1816 Flintlock Musket, manufactured at the Harpers Ferry Arsenal circa 1816. The town of Harpers Ferry is nestled into a valley at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers. Originally located in Virginia, Harpers Ferry became part of the new state of West Virginia in the middle of the Civil War in 1863. The Model 1816 was manufactured at the U.S. Armory there between 1816 and 1844 with over 350,000 produced during that period. The Type I musket was manufactured between 1816 and 1822. The Type II was made between 1822 and 1836, while the Type III was made between 1836 and 1844. This model was used by Texans during the Mexican-American War. During this conflict, the flintlock version of the Model 1816 was preferred by U.S. regular forces, due to percussion cap supply concerns. This model was also used during the early years of the American Civil War.
The tail of the lock is marked “HARPERS/FERRY/1816”. The top of the barrel bears the view and proof mark “Oval P”.
The overall condition is good. The action is strong with a re-converted lock. Gray patina on the barrel with a dark patina on the lock. The stock remains solid with a crack behind the lock. The buttplate is slightly oversized. Legible markings. The bore is dark but good. The front of the trigger guard tang is slightly separated from the stock. Markings are legible.
