For sale...
Well, I literally just got this a few weeks ago, but a sudden external need compels me to offer it. It is a 1795 Springfield by Pedersoli that was worked over by Zimmerman as a Harper's Ferry 1808 by remarking the lock plate and breech with the appropriate arsenal markings. It also includes a bayonet and scabbard. Both the musket and bayonet have matching serial numbers which is appropriate for this generation of Harpers Ferry 1808s. It is really a neat musket, but lowest in the pecking order in my safe. I confirmed with Zimmerman that he did the work.
I am the third owner. The gent I purchased it from picked it up on consignment at S&S in Gettysburg. They informed him the original owner had it done over by Zimmerman for war of 1812 events. It is in pristine condition, though I can tell it has been fired at some point, and the stock has a small mark here and there. The barrel bands are tight, the fit of everything is good. It is a fine piece...
I know this is a little early in the 19th century for N-SSA related shooting, but I figure this audience is going to be well versed and someone might be interested. I am not aware of any War of 1812 oriented boards to offer this on (if anyone does, I'd be grateful for the info).
I'm looking to get out of it what I have in it. $1,175.00 shipped for the musket, bayonet, and scabbard. Of note, new Pedersoli 1795's are in the $1,400+ ballpark (which is crazy... but what it is). USPS money order(s) preferred. Cashier's check ok, personal check is fine but will need to clear prior to shipping.
I live in Alexandria, Va, in case anyone within a few grid squares wants to meet face to face.
