All original and complete. The musket has fine plus metal, markings, and edges throughout. The lock is clearly marked in front of the hammer with a small "Eagle & Shield/US, and behind the hammer, "SPRING/FIELD/1839". The barrel is marked with the correct P/Eagle/V and is also dated 1839 on the tang. The top of the butt plate is marked "U.S." All of the metal on the musket has an untouched smokey golden brown natural patina on it. The wood on the musket is excellent throughout with crisp edges on it. It has inspectors marks on the backside of the wood opposite the lock. There is a large "D/58" stamped on the top of the wood infront of the butt plate which are most likely regimental markings. It has an excellent bore and very tight action in it.
