Documented U.S. Springfield Model 1812 Type II Flintlock Musket with Bayonet

Approximately 5,000-10,000 of these Type IIs were manufactured c. 1815-1816. Model 1812 Type II muskets are described on pages 89-93 of George D. Moller's book "American Military Shoulder Arms Volume II", with this exact musket photographed on page 89. The book states, "The salient visual features of this musket are the short stud-type barrel band retainers and the special upper barrel band used with these retainers." It has a bayonet stud on top near the muzzle, blade front sight on the rear of the upper barrel band, "1815" dated lock with "US/eagle and shield/SPRINGFIELD" marked at the center, "US" and "P/eagle head/V" stamps on the barrel at the breech, cheek cutout on the left side of the comb, and an "1815" dated buttplate tang. "GDM" (George D. Moller) collection initials marked at the toe of the stock. Includes US socket bayonet (does not properly lock on muzzle), leather sling, and wood tampion. Provenance: The George Moller Collection

Rating definitionVery good with scattered dark mild pitting on the otherwise bright surfaces, and distinct lock markings. Stock is also very good as refinished with scattered hairline cracks, scratches, and dents. Mechanically fine. Included bayonet is good with mottled brown patina overall and sharp edges.
