"VIRGINIA MANUFACTORY ARTILLERY CONFEDERATE ALTERATION MUSKETOON. SN NSN. Cal. 69. Mr. Michel describes this gun as follows: "Bolster alteration to percussion of Virginia Manufactory artillery musketoon. Lockplate of musket marked forward of hammer 'Virginia Manufactory' and at tail 'Richmond 1818'. All components marked with orig assembly number '6'. Alteration by Thomas J. Adams in Richmond with three faceted bolster and re-assembly Roman numeral groups on inner face of new percussion hammer, inner face of lockplate, underside of bbl, and left side of stock opposite lockplate". VA Manufactory artillery musketoons are scarce enough in flint, much less with a Confederate alteration to percussion. This particular gun is illustrated and described on pp. 31-32 of Murphy & Madaus' Confederate Rifles and Muskets. This gun is orig and complete, and it would be hard to find another specimen. CONDITION: Metal surfaces cleaned, gray and pitted. Assembly number "6" appears on bands, sideplate, trigger guard. This number is not discernible on exterior of buttplate; however, buttplate is certainly orig to this gun with matching metal surfaces to rest of gun. Stock is good and sound, with scattered scratches, nicks, and dings. Stock has old repair on wood opposite lock. 4-31275 JS206 (3,000-5,000)"
