"WHITNEY MODEL 1812 CONFEDERATE ALTERATION MUSKET. SN NSN. Cal. 69. Mr. Michel describes this gun as follows: "Alteration to percussion of Model 1812 Whitney musket. Lockplate marked forward of hammer 'N. Haven' in scroll. Alteration is with brazed bolster of unique configuration, vertical in rear and horizontal at bottom, which is believed to be the work of William B. and Cyrus Fisher of Lynchburg, Virginia. This distinctive shaped bolster and equally distinctively shaped hammer all appear together on the alteration of a Model 1803 (Consignment No. 4-31301) and a Model 1817 rifle". You are bidding on a fine, complete, rare William & Cyrus Fisher, Lynchburg, VA alteration. There probably cannot be a better example known. CONDITION: Bbl is cleaned with scattered staining and pitting. Orig flint bbl proof "P" is well-defined. Lockplate is gray with New Haven markings partially removed. Matching bands and the trigger guard are brown, smooth, and stained. Ramrod and buttplate are gray/bright with scattered staining and pitting. Stock is solid and sound with some orig finish. Residual cartouche and various assembly stampings in wood are crisp. Stock exhibits numerous dents, nicks, scrapes, and scratches. Gun retains both orig sling swivels. 4-31270 JS203 (3,000-5,000)"
