This is a neat Civil War gun! It is the weapon officially listed as a model 1844/1860 Piedmontese Rifled Musket. It is a rifled .69 caliber musket. The neat thing about this one is that has a very cool dark tone all over. The lockplate has the small proof marks but no maker's markings. The breech of the barrel has the oval stamp that lets us know it was Belgian made. The Federal government imported this pattern of rifled when the war broke out. According to the book on European firearms they state that Henry Boker and Marcus Hartley imported them for the Government. The action still catches crisply on both of the positions. The barrel is full-length and you can still see the original rifling in the barrel but it has some dark pitting. At the breech of the barrel it has the the Belgian style proof mark still visible. The front and rear sights are still nicely intact. It has both of the original two sling swivels still present. In the channel under the barrel it has the original ramrod. The stock has a very attractive look with a beautiful grain. On the underside of the stock near the front of the lockplate, it has the ancient crack repair as you see in the images. On the top of the metal buttplate, it has the 1831 production date as well as the issue/serial number of 4838. This is a great looking musket that has a very good chance of seeing Civil War service and is priced for the price of a pocket model Colt revolver these days.
