This excellent example of the most-widely issued weapon of the Civil War comes to us in a near-fine condition considering its age and many comparable examples.

All metal surfaces are bright and very little metal surface wear is noted – a light spot of pitting on the stock’s end cap, and an area of concentrated dings (none much larger than a pinpoint) near the lower band. The bore is excellent with a smooth, bright surface and deep rifling.  The sights retain a blued finish and remain complete.  The breech is proof marked and dated 1862.

Ramrod is present and in excellent condition, with all threads remaining at the opposing end.  Each of the weapon’s eight major screws show virtually no damage or wear. All bands are stamped “U” and both sling swivels are securely attached.  Butt plate is stamped “US” and shows a mottled finish with more typical pitting. Trigger guard shows only very light surface oxidation. The lock is mechanically perfect, with a deeply stamped eagle, “U.S. SPRINGFIELD”, and an “1862” date just behind the hammer.

The walnut stock is richly colored and in a likewise good condition.  Few imperfections are observed, save for some light dings near the barrel band springs and light scratching in areas.  Some areas show no discernable wear and give the appearance of a factory-new rifle-musket. No cracks are noted. Two prominent inspection cartouches are stamped into the wood flat opposite the lock.

An exceptional and increasingly rare candidate for the discerning collector of fine Civil War weapons.  [cm][ph:L]
