Description
Prussian M1809 .70 Caliber Smoothbore Musket, Converted to Percussion with Date Proof of 1833 at the Breech and Various Proofs on other Metal Parts. Excellent overall condition, metal smooth and brown with just some pitting at the breech. Wood excellent with nice untouched patina and distinctive cutout cheek piece. All brass furniture also with nice mellow patina. Mechanically perfect, the gun being complete and original in every respect. An excellent example of this cumbersome European musket, with over 100,000 purchased by the Federal government at the beginning of the war, that was generally reviled by the soldiers to whom it was issued.Auction Info
