This is a nice example of a U.S. Model 1863 Percussion Rifle-Musket type 1 by Springfield Armory. It is a .58 caliber muzzleloader. The lock plate is marked “U.S./ Springfield” with wingspread eagle forward of the hammer. It’s dated 1863 behind hammer. The lock plate is dark frame original oil quenching process. Barrel has traces of the date with VP/ eagle clearly visible. Walnut stock has been lightly sanded and varnished years ago. Both inspector’s cartouches are visible. Mechanically perfect. Bore is UF+ with some very light surface accumulation. A small letter “G” is carved in the stock between the lock plate bolt heads. Overall, a nice all original example. [ss]
