The Model 1795 is historically significant as the first official standardized U.S. martial arm and the first firearms manufactured at the U.S. armories. The Model 1795 was based on the French Model 1766 widely used during the Revolution, and was the main infantry arm of the War of 1812. This musket has the correct Type II markings and features with a round bottom flash pan and shorter front end on the trigger guard (c. 1806-1809). The lock is marked at the tail with a vertical "1806" behind "SPRINGFIELD" in an arc, and at the center of the lock is a script "US" above a shielded eagle looking to its right. The barrel has the standard "P/eagle/V" proofmarks at the left of the breech and a "US" mark on top. "1806" date marked on the buttplate tang. "GDM" (George D. Moller) collection initials marked at the toe of the stock. Includes socket bayonet, leather sling, and wood tampion. Provenance: The George Moller Collection

Good with scattered mild oxidation and pitting, defined lock markings, and mostly legible barrel markings. Stock is very good with some scratches and scuffs, an absent section behind the lock, and a few hairline cracks. Mechanically fine. Included bayonet is also good with brown patina and scattered mild pitting.
