Exceptional Civil War U.S. Springfield Model 1861 Percussion Rifle-Musket Dated 1862

The Springfield Model 1861 rifle-musket was the primary shoulder arm used by the Union infantry during the Civil War. Most of these Model 1861s saw heavy use in virtually all of the major battles of the war. Marked "U.S./SPRINGFIELD" at the center of the lock, as manufactured by the Springfield Armory, ahead of an eagle and shield and the date "1862" at the tail of the lock to match the "1862" dated barrel. Front sight doubling as a bayonet lug and blued rear sight with 100, 300 and 500 yard flip-up leafs. The left stock flat is stamped with two boxed script inspection cartouches including "ESA" of Springfield Armory's Master Armorer, Erskine S. Allin. "US" and "H/32" marked buttplate tang.

ConditionVery fine, retaining most of its Armory bright surfaces with scattered light surface freckling, 60% faded original blue finish on the rear sight, and absolutely sharp markings and edges in the metal overall. Stock is very fine with defined edges, numerous scattered scratches, nicks and dents; and visible cartouches. Mechanically excellent.
