Description: This complete Manton U.S. Contract Model 1861 musket lock assembly is about as rare as they come. Very nearly the holy grail of lock collectors because of the history and the rarity, only the Confederate locks and possibly the Union Arms locks can command more interest in the marketplace. In an attempt to secure a government contract during the Civil War, Whitney borrowed the name of Manton, a respected firearms manufacturer from England, and was successful. The guns turned out to be no better than the ones rejected by Union Army inspectors that he had built in his own name, so only about 2,000 are estimated to have been manufactured. If you're looking to begin a lock collection, this one is a great start, especially so considering the lock's very good or better condition and function.
