Description
M1809 Prussian .69 Caliber Smooth Bore Musket with Bolster Conversion to Percussion. Imported extensively by both sides in the early stages of the Civil War, with the majority being issued to Federal troops. Rather clumsy and inaccurate, by war's end they had all been replaced by .58 caliber rifled muskets. This is an exceptionally nice example. All metal smooth and clean. Extensively marked, as is typical of these European arms, with various proofs, maker on lock, and date of manufacture, 1830, at breech. Brass furniture with iron buttplate. Mechanically fine, excellent bore. Wood really excellent, smooth with nice patina. Accompanied by the original scarce socket bayonet. Nice gun.Auction Info
