Exceptional Civil War Colt Model 1861 Special Rifle-Musket

These Colt muskets were produced throughout the Civil War under contract with the Union and state governments. An estimated 100,000 muskets were manufactured by the end of the war. This model is based on the Enfield Pattern 1853 and has many features incorporated in the Springfield Model 1863. This 1864 dated example has the standard markings and features, including an "M.N.M." inspection mark on the left at the breech and "AWM" and "JT" cartouches on the left stock flat.

ConditionNear excellent. The rifle-musket appears unfired and shows only light storage and handling wear. There is no flash pitting on the hammer, percussion nipple, bolster or adjacent areas of the barrel. Most of the 'National Armory Bright' finish is intact with some tarnish from age. The musket is untouched and has not been cleaned or polished. The rear sight retains most of the original dull blue finish. All of the markings are crisp. The stock is in excellent condition with sharp edges and only minor handling marks. This is an original, untouched example of an important Civil War rifle musket and a key Colt longarm.
