OHIO Militia Marked SPRINGFIELD ARMORY 1842 MUSKET
Description: OHIO Militia Marked SPRINGFIELD ARMORY 1842 MUSKET Musket Made in 1846 & Used During Civil War! Here we present a Springfield Armory U.S. Model 1842 Percussion Musket, manufactured circa 1846 in Springfield, Massachusetts. From the period of 1844 until 1855, about 275,000 Model 1842 muskets were manufactured at the Springfield and Harpers Ferry Armories, along with some being made by private contractors commissioned to assist in production. Along with usage during the Mexican-American War in 1846 through 1848, these would have been in the hands of local militia all over the antebellum United States and used by both combatants at the outbreak of the American Civil War. The Model 1842 was the first regulation percussion musket to be manufactured at both Springfield and Harpers Ferry Armories, as well as the first to be produced by both national armories with fully-interchangeable parts. These were also the last .69 caliber smoothbore arms to be produced by the U.S. government. This example was made at the federal armory at Springfield and sent to the state of Ohio to issue to their militia. The top of the wrist of the stock as well as the flat on the left side, opposite the lock, are marked “OHIO” and conforms to other known examples. Government inspection marks are still somewhat visible under the “OHIO” marking. The lock is marked “Springfield/1846” and also has the Federal Eagle stamp. Old soldier graffiti can be seen on the stock as was common during this time. The overall condition is good. The iron surfaces are very dark with age. The markings are clear. The stock is smooth, dark and solid. The bore is smooth and dark. The action is excellent. This one has been there and done that and continues to represent an important part of American history! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 42 inches. Caliber: .69 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 $1700 #8579 SOLD Antique: Yes |
