Description

This fantastic Harper's Ferry M1842 is in very good condition. This smoothbore is in all original and unmolested condition. This musket features a first year production 1844 dated lock and 1845 dated barrel which means it was most likely assembled by the arsenal in early 1845 using a lock plate that was made in late 1844.

The stock is in very nice condition with nice crisp edges and a great patina. There is no damage, other than a small chip in the tail of the lock mortise and small drying crack near the rear lock bolt. Both of these small issues are cosmetic only and don't effect the stock's structural integrity. There is no rotten spots or burnout behind the hammer.

The gun features a great "as found" untouched patina - a good indicator that it was never cleaned or refinished.

The lock is in great shape with good legible stamps and a smooth action. The hammer holds solid on both full and half cock. The furniture is all original and all matching with a great light brown patina evenly distributed on all metal parts. The ramrod is full length.

The barrel is in excellent condition with a faint VP and Eagle proof mark and a faint, but legible date on the tang. The bore is good with no major pitting and minimal surface rust that would likely clean out with some elbow grease.
