1862 Dated CONFEDERATE Antique C.S. RICHMOND “HUMBPACK” Rifle-Musket Made from Parts Captures at Harpers Ferry
Description: 1862 Dated CONFEDERATE Antique C.S. RICHMOND “HUMBPACK” Rifle-Musket Made from Parts Captures at Harpers Ferry Here we present an antique Confederate C.S. Richmond Marked Two-Band Smoothbore “Humpback” Rifle-Musket, made in 1862 in Richmond, Virginia. At the start of the American Civil War, the Confederacy suffered from a lack of resources with the capability to produce small arms weapons. Virginia appropriated funds to modernize the Old State Armory building in Richmond with arms-making machinery manufactured in England. But the confrontation at Fort Sumter initiated the Union blockade which prevented delivery of the machinery. In April 1861, the Confederacy led by Thomas Jonathan Jackson, more commonly known as “Stonewall” Jackson, captured the Union held town of Harper’s Ferry in western Virginia, and salvaged the machinery used to manufacture Springfield Model 1855 muskets. Confederate troops captured 33,993 black walnut stocks along with the machinery. The machinery and stocks were shipped on the Winchester and Potomac Railroad to Winchester, Virginia, where they were transferred by wagons over the Valley Pike to be reloaded onto the Manassas Gap Railroad at Strasburg, Virginia for delivery to Richmond. The rifling machinery was transferred to the Fayetteville Arsenal. This one features a Richmond lock set in a Model 1855 stock. A T shaped mortise has been added to the rear sight dovetail. Brass butt plate and nosecap. The overall condition is good. Solid stock, very good for the age with an average amount of handling. The action is strong. Bored smooth long ago. Absent front sight. Barrel is 33 inches. Caliber: .60 Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! ancestryguns $2250 #250311 SOLD Antique: Yes |
