Exceptional Civil War U.S. Colt Special Contract Model 1861 Percussion Rifle-Musket with Bayonet

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 1863 dated example has the standard markings and features. Includes a "US" marked Collins & Co. socket bayonet.

ConditionExcellent plus overall, as issued, with some very light scattered spotting in the overall excellent original armory bright finish. The excellent wood shows only a few scattered light handling marks, clear cartouches, and crisp edges. Mechanically excellent. The bayonet is also excellent with almost entirely bright finish and clear markings.
