I have 2 Springfield muskets for sale. Belonged to my Father. Here's what I know about them:

circa 1863-73 45.70 Cal Allen trapdoor - breach loader $400

circa 1863 50.70 Cal Allen trapdoor very good condition, converted from .58 cal. my father purchased from Martin Tittle of Lansdale, PA. who inherited it from his father. His grandfather carried it during the War Between the States. $1250

Can send pictures.



















The third one 1864 .58 Cal is a Robinson. My error - not for sale, as it was used by my father in reenactments (he actually shot with this!).

You need to put a price on them to sell them.

You might go to gunbroker.com to see what people are asking, I repeat asking for similar items. That does not mean people are paying that price, but it is a place to start. Scott

"circa 1863 50.70 Cal Allen trapdoor................ grandfather carried it during the War Between the States."

Was pretty sure these were done years after the War of Northern Aggression???
