Description:
1839 Date CIVIL WAR Danzig Model 1809 Percussion Conversion INFANTRY Musket

PRUSSIAN Danzig Arsenal with SOCKET BAYONET

Here we present an antique Prussian Danzig Arsenal Model 1809 Percussion Conversion Musket, manufactured by the Danzig Arsenal in 1839. 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 The Model 1809 was originally made in the flintlock format, with later production shifting to the more modern and reliable percussion firing system.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 outclassed by this time, 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 very good. Original patina. The action is excellent. The bore is smooth and patinated. The stock shows clear inspection markings and is solid throughout. The bayonet is in great shape.

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

Barrel is 41-1/4 inches.

Caliber: .75 Percussion
