This U.S. Springfield Model 1847 Musketoon has the swiveling ramrod fixture typically seen on the cavalry variant, although it does not have a cavalry type sling bar and ring, and has a filled in oval section in the bottom rear area of the stock where a sling swivel base once resided as typical of the artillery variant. The lock is dated "1847" at the tail with the federal eagle above "US" at the center, illegible date on the barrel tang, "V/P/eagle head" proofs on the breech, brass fittings, with "11" stamped in the left stock flat, and "U.S" marked buttplate.

Very good, with mottled brown oxidation and light to mild pitting on the bright iron, and areas of old refinished blue showing on the lock with visible markings. The brass is attractively aged. Stock is also good, with numerous scattered dents, scratches and scuffs. Mechanically fine.
