The Model 1795 Musket represents many firsts in U.S. martial arms including the first standardized and official model of musket manufactured for the U.S. military and was based on the French "Charleville" Model 1766 muskets widely used during the American Revolution. Model 1795s saw heavy use during the War of 1812. Type III Model 1795s are dated from 1809-1814 with this example dated "1810" on the tail of the lock and buttplate tang. The lock has a script "US/eagle/SPRINGFIELD" at the center. The top of the barrel is stamped "S.N.Y./U-S" behind a deep "I" and the left of the barrel is stamped with "P/eagle head/V" proofs. Includes a socket bayonet marked "JB US" and "O" on the blade.

Very good with some scattered areas of dark colored light pitting and otherwise smooth bright surfaces on the iron with sharp markings. The stock is very good as lightly sanded and revarnished, with some dents and scratches, a chip on the left flat below the sideplate, a cracked section beneath the lock, and three "kill" notches on the left of the wrist. Mechanically excellent. Included bayonet is very good with some scattered light pitting. This is an attractive example of a War of 1812 era State of New York marked U.S. Springfield Model 1795 musket that would make a fine addition to any U.S. martial firearms collection!
