I’m needing to thin out my collection a bit and I’ve decided to sell my 1850 dated, 1842 Springfield musket. It’s in working order and I have shot it maybe a half dozen or so times (light loads). I have not messed with it other than a light coat of oil. It’s Just like I got it except for it was missing the middle barrel band and spring. I picked up an original band off the internet and I got the spring from someone on here. Ill upload some more pics if anybody is interested. I think it may be a Confederate musket. No guarantees but from what I’ve read about CSA weapons, the names carved into the stock seems to fit the standard description of a confed weapon. It also has CSA on one side of the stock (see pics). They are maybe 1/2 inch letters. I’ve had several people look at it and I took it to some of the military shows around here and nobody could tell me either way if they thought the CSA was original. One dealer stated: "It looks old but even it it was done in 1902, it would look old". I plan on putting it up on GUNBROKER but I thought I would give you guys first crack at it. I am asking $900 plus shipping and insurance. Also, if you have any insight on this Musket, I would love to hear from ya, please post your thoughts about the musket, the carved names, markings, condition, etc, etc.. If you would like to see more pics, let me know. I plan on uploading at least 1 or 2 more pics of the entire rifle in a day or so. Thanks for looking!
