The live portion of this session begins on Tuesday, October 4, 2016.
1860 DATED CIVIL WAR MODEL 1855 SPRINGFIELD RIFLED MUSKET.SPRINGFIELD1855NSN58Cal. 58. This is a nice solid example of a complete and orig gun that was the most advanced longarm in the Union army at start of war. Model 1861's would soon supersede the 55's with obsolete Maynard tape priming device. CONDITION: Good to very good overall. Gun appears orig throughout with 1859 dated bbl and 1860 dated lock. Markings are all discernible. There are additional unidentified rack markings and buttplate. The rear sight fits well but is for a later gun. Ramrod is correct style, though missing threading. Mechanically functional with well defined rifling. Fairly sharp bore. 51028-14 JS (1,500-2,500)
