This Model 1816 Springfield Musket has a bolster conversion preformed by Hewes & Phillips of Newark, New Jersey, and features a distinctive percussion breech with integral "H&P" and "1862" marked bolster. The lock is marked with "SPRING/FIELD/1828" behind the hammer and the eagle shield motif over "US" in front of the hammer. It also has a bayonet stud on top near the muzzle, blade front sight on the front barrel band, three leaf rear sight, and standard government inspection markings.

Fine with light gray and brown patina and minor pitting on the iron and some dents, minor chips, a minor tension crack on the left flat, and scratches on the very good stock. Mechanically excellent.
