Description
Here's an excellent, all correct M1861 Norwich musket in great condition.
Like many issued muskets, this Norwich remains in absolutely fantastic condition. It is 100% percent correct, and the stamps and proof marks on the all the components are all of Norwich manufacture according to Hartzler, Yantz, and Whisker's book The U.S. Model 1861 Springfield Rifle-Musket.
The lock is in great shape with good legible lock markings. The mechanics are perfect and the lock holds solid at both full and half cock.
The stock is well above average for a M1861. There are no chips or cracks anywhere and no burn-out behind the nipple. The cartouches are nice legible.
The barrel is good with excellent stamps at the breech and a faint but legible "1863" date stamped on the top barrel flat. Both front and rear sights are intact and unmodified. The bore is good with sharp rifling and some scattered "frost pitting".
The furniture is all original with the exception of a reproduction rarmrod.
This M1861 just screams Civil War history and would make for a great addition to any history buff's collection.
