Description:
1830 Dated CIVIL WAR Era Prussian DANZIG ARSENAL M1809 Percussion Musket  

Used by both UNION and CONFEDERATE in the War

Here we present an antique Prussian Danzig Arsenal Model 1809 Percussion Musket, manufactured by the Danzig Arsenal in 1830. Danzig is presently a city in Poland but was an important region in Prussia at the time this musket was made. The Model 1809 was originally made in the flintlock format, with later production shifting to the more modern and reliable percussion firing system.

This musket would have been used in Prussian conflicts during the 1840s and 50s, including the Egyptian-Ottoman War, the Greater Poland Uprising, the Revolutions of 1848, and the First Schleswig War, before being sold to the United States government in the first years of the American Civil War. Though thoroughly obsolete, both the Union and the Confederacy were desperate for small arms as the South had little capability to make their own and the North had to scramble to ramp up their own production.

The overall condition is good. Remnants of original blue finish on the barrel. The original stock is very good showing little use. “C.T.” appears to be marked on the wrist. A small “Q” is stamped on the left barrel flat. Missing ramrod. Legible markings throughout. The action is robust. The bore is dark and smooth. Bright brass furniture. Front and rear sling swivels are absent.

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 41 inches.

Caliber: .74 Percussion
