Additional information

Original 1861 dated Springfield Civil War musket. THE HOLY GRAIL OF UNION MUSKETS!!! I am selling this from my Civil War Collection. Standard 40" barrel .58 Caliber with military sights, ramrod and sling swivels. It has a visible VP on barrel and US stamped on buttplate along with a unit or Company number under it. It appears to be 100% original with a very nice walnut stock, dark color with minor handling marks, no visible cartouche. Cock and half cock works fine. Bright metal work finish starting to turn patina. 1861 date and US SPRINGFIELD stamping on lock are visible. Eagle has worn away over time. Bore shows very little sign of rifling. There weren't many Model 1861's produced during the first year of the war and those that were built more than likely saw years of hard usage. Many didn't survive the war so we don't run across these full size muskets with early 1861 dates very often. Overall good condition for a 150 year old Civil War firearm. This is being sold as a collectable and for less than what I paid for it. The high cost of shipping due to the size and weight will be free with the purchase price. Can send more newer pictures.
