SOLD Original 1861 musket

[Wyomingmountainshooter]

For sale or trade. Just got this shot it shoots great then found a colt example I was looking for.
This is an example of the Model 1863 Type I. It bears a lock from the Alfred Jenks & Son contract that is dated “1864”. The lock reads “U.S. BRIDESBURG”. Proof marks are located on the left side of the barrel. The top of the butt plate is marked “U.S.”.
The overall condition is good. The iron parts have a gray patina. The markings are clear. The walnut stock is smooth and solid. The bore is in good condition. The action is excellent, strong and crisp. Rifling is very sharp and non pitted. Sends minie balls down range beautifully. Will offer a 3 day inspection for your time to look it over. Asking 1200 obo or trade for percussion or flintlock rifles civilian or milatary original or repro welcome

I have that same musket. Every bit as good as a springfield and nearly identical. Mine is an 1861 model built in 1862. Interesting facts, "Bridesberg" is actually a section of philadelphia. The Alfred Jenks house still stands up the street from where the factory stood.
