Wonderfully untouched and as-found... This Civil War musket is as honest as can be found. It was put away and not messed-with since its time of service. 100% original, 100% complete, and mechanically perfect. Bore is fair condition with thin rifling and surface scale. All the steel has an even, uniform, aged rust-brown patina. All metal markings are vivid. The lock is dated 1863, the barrel bears 1862 indicating manufacture in January or possibly as late as February 1863. The stock has good edges and numerous bumps and dings. It bears the New Jersey ownership stamp N.J. on the counter pane opposite the lock.
