appearing on the rear of the lock. Proper markings on barrel. Stock in very
nice condition. All iron looks to be original to weapon with bayonet lug
present. Brass has an even overall patina. The stock appears to have been
given a finish many years ago but does not at all distract from its

1863 Type I Springfield Musket. This

must have been placed in a garage for all iron is pitted and the stock is
marked basically all over. The ramrod, butt plate, trigger
housing, etc. are original to the weapon. The mark on the front barrel
section is from the presence of a bayonet for many years. This weapon could
be cleaned up to make a great display for a good price. |
