    FOR SALE original 1845 D. Nipps 69 cal smooth bore with pike

    So, is it a .69 caliber smoothbore or a .69 caliber rifle? Maybe its a rifled-musket. I would think a rear sight would have been added if the barrel was rifled before or during the Civil War. Condition is very good. The bayonet looks excellent.

    Daleallen, I'd like to see photos of your Manton shotgun. I have had mine since 1990. The only regret is someone in refinishing the stock, sanded off the checkering.

    Welcome to "Muzzleloading College". The black powder club just east of me is abounding with retired marines from Camp Lejeune.

    SOLD 58 CVA/ pietta

    FWIW, taking photos with a smartphone can be a bear, especially inside. For better results, take the photos outside on an overcast day with no sun. It eliminates the flash from the phone, and shadows. This comment is not meant to hijack the ad, just trying to improve the sale ability of the gun.

    ID on a Charleville Musket

    By "originality" you are asking how and/or where it came into the US?

    ID on a Charleville Musket

    Go to Wikipedia and type in the search block, "Charleville Musket". The page will list each of the major models and describe the OAL and barrel length. The barrel length might be able to identify your musket further. Oddly enough, I think there are less than a half dozen books on French...
