CIVIL WAR PRUSSIAN Antique POTSDAM Model 1809 Percussion Conversion Musket
Made Circa 1820 at the Armory at Potsdam w/BAYONET
Description: CIVIL WAR PRUSSIAN Antique POTSDAM Model 1809 Percussion Conversion Musket Made Circa 1820 at the Armory at Potsdam w/BAYONET Here we present an antique Prussian Percussion Conversion Model 1809 Musket, manufactured circa 1820 at the Prussian armory at Potsdam. This example would have started out life as a flintlock musket that was converted likely sometime just before the start of the American Civil War. The Potsdam musket was the standard infantry weapon of the Royal Prussian Army from the 18th century until the military reforms of the 1840s. Four models were produced at Potsdam, including the Model 1723, the Model 1740, the Model 1809, and the Model 1831. 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. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. This example sports a solid stock with an expected amount of wear, dents, and dings. Legible markings. All three barrel-bands have a slight wiggle. The bayonet is in good shape. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 41 inches. Caliber: .75 percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1400 #228277 SOLD Antique: Yes |
