1861 Springfield Armory Musket
I have an original 1861 Springfield Armory musket, lock plate dated 1861 for sale. This one definitely saw the elephant, although I have no idea where it was or which side it served. It is in reasonably good condition but SHOULD NOT BE FIRED, this is an original. The bore is rifled. There are two circumfral areas inside the bore breech, which suggests two Minnie balls were loaded on top of one another, but not fired. This strongly suggests this musket was in a serious battle when the owner stopped using it (if you get my drift). The sale is only to someone 21 years and older and is subject to all applicable state laws for both the buyer and seller. A notarized certificate of age will be required if not an in-person sale. The lock plate eagle, maker, and date are extremely good shape. I believe the ramrod is a reproduction, but is correct for the musket. This is the ultimate Christmas or birthday gift, there aren’t that many dated 1861 Springfield’s for sale. I want $1250 for it, which is very low and reasonable if you check the Civil War dealer websites. As the federal antique rules apply, this can be shipped FedEx or UPS. I can also email photos.
