Description

The French M1842 is easily one of the lesser known Civil War import guns, but that doesn't mean it wasn't still heavily used by both Federal and Confederate forces. In fact, many Civil War buffs aren't even aware that these huge back-action guns were imported during the war. These guns were a staple on the battlefield however and many original tin types can be found that depict these beefy guns displayed proudly in the arms of the soldiers who carried them. This particular French '42 is a real piece of Civil War history as it bears a distinctive "OHIO" stamp in its stock behind the breech plug indicating that it was one of the thousands of guns imported by the state of Ohio during the war.

This musket is in great shape. The stock is in beautiful condition with all of its original cartouches present and legible. There are no chips or cracks anywhere. The lock is in great shape with a nice even patina and a reliable half and full cock.

The barrel is full length and in good shape with no pitting or rust at the breech. The bore is excellent with no pitting and only some speckled areas of rust.

The furniture is all original with the exception of a reproduction ram rod.

This would be an ideal candidate for any reenactor or living historian that wants to get away from the traditional Enfield and Springfield reproductions carried by 99.9% of other reenactors. This is a great original musket for the same price as an Italian reproduction!
