Description:

The Springfield Model 1861 rifle-musket was the primary weapon used by the Union infantry during the Civil War. This example is dated "1862" on the lock and barrel and has standard "eagle/shield" motif and "U.S./SPRINGFIELD" markings on the lock ahead of the hammer, and two cartouches are on the left stock flat, including that of Master Armorer Erskine S. Allin.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining most of the armory bright surfaces underneath scattered old dried grease and scattered patches of mild surface pitting, mostly concentrated towards the end of the barrel, end cap, and ramrod. Stock is excellent with exceptionally defined edges, some light scratches, light handling marks, and crisp cartouches. Bent ramrod. Mechanically excellent.
