Description
Rare Model 1841 Springfield Armory Cadet Musket, .57 caliber percussion muzzleloader, 40" barrel, 54" overall length, walnut stock with three barrel bands, iron mountings, bayonet lug on barrel's underside at muzzle, "VP" marking on barrel at breech, "1844" on tang, "SPRING/FIELD 1844" behind hammer on lockplate. With trumpet-shaped ramrod. Cast brass Confederate "Block I" button applied to right side of stock. Small areas of old chipping around lockplate, glossy natural sheen to wood, iron elements have light pitting, some finish remaining to trigger guard and barrel. Very good condition. According to Flayderman, only 450 of these diminutive rifles were produced between 1844 and 1845. This example surely saw Confederate usage in that the U.S. and eagle stampings have been removed from the lockplate. The button might or might not have been a wartime addition.Auction Info
