"VIRGINIA MANUFACTORY CONFEDERATE ALTERATION MUSKET. SN NSN. Cal. 69. Mr. Michel describes this gun as follows: "Bolster alteration to percussion of Virginia Manufactory Musket. Lockplate of musket marked at tail 'Richmond 1804'. Bbl marked at breech with county designation 'Hanover'. This type alteration with two faceted bolster was done by S. C. Robinson. All components marked with orig assembly number '4'. S. C. Robinson re-assembly markings are pairs of Arabic numerals or Roman numerals, in this case '20 / 8'. With bayonet numbered '7'". You are bidding on a fine, Confederate converted, Virginia Manufactory musket with all matching assembly numbers that includes a VA Manufactory angular bayonet with similar assembly number. Bayonet is SN 7 whereas the rest of the gun has assembly number 4. This gun was once in the collection of Giles Cromwell and is described in Murphy & Madaus' Confederate Rifles and Muskets on p. 624. CONDITION: Bbl is brown/black with pitting, especially at bolster. County regimental markings on bbl flat are partially discernible, as "Hanover" can be read. Other metal parts are brown with pitting and are all assembly stamped "4". Ramrod appears to be a Confederate, blacksmith-forged addition. Stock is sound and solid with scattered dings, gouges, and scratches, and a hairline crack forward of lock. Initials "WWS" are stamped in buttstock. About 2" of wood behind bolster is repaired. Accompanying bayonet with assembly number "7" is is cleaned and has pitting. 4-31278 JS210 (3,000-5,000)"
