Overview of Confederate "C&R" Marked Percussion Altered US Model 1828 (1816 Type III) Musket by Harpers Ferry
Item Details
.69 caliber. 42" barrel secured by three flat, spring-retained barrel bands. SN: NSN. Bright finish, iron furniture, walnut stock. Single shot smoothbore muzzleloading percussion altered musket. Lock marked with a {Spread-Winged Eagle} / US  forward of the hammer and in three vertical lines at the tail HARPERS / FERRY / 1832. Breech plug tang date 1832 as well. Breech with V / P / {Eagle Head} and inspection marks. Counterpane with a visible block AR/V, indicating the musket was inspected and "viewed" by Harpers Ferry inspector Adam Rhulman. Assembly marked "O" throughout. The Confederate rebuild inspection mark Z is stamped in the wood of the stock belly, forward of the triggerguard. This indicates that the gun was captured at some point and went through the Confederate C&R program, which ranged from a simple cleaning and reissuing of the gun to a complete rebuild or even stripping it for parts to build other guns. Retains the original brass front sight on the top strap of the upper barrel band, both sling swivels and a full-length button head ramrod with good threads at the end. Arsenal altered to percussion via the Belgian or "cone in barrel" method. A very nice example of a Harpers Ferry made percussion conversion musket, a gun that is much more difficult to find than its Springfield-made counterpart. The fact that it was also captured and placed into Confederate service makes it a very desirable gun to add to any collection. CONDITION: Very good. Metal lightly cleaned to bright with some traces of old light pitting here and there and some traces of old, discolored oil as well. Scattered flecks of surface oxidation are present on the metal. Markings mostly clear with the eagle on the lock slightly weak. Mechanically functional, good smooth bore is moderately oxidized with some pitting. Stock with moderate wear, showing numerous scattered bumps, dings and mars. EST: $1800 - $2800
