"COOK & BROTHER MUSKETOON. SN 2419. This 24" bbl musketoon is often known as an artillery carbine. Lock is marked "Cook & Brother / Athens Ga / 1863" and SN "2419". There is a Confederate First National Flag stamped rear of hammer on lockplate. Bbl is marked "Cook & Brother / Athens Ga / 1863" and SN "2511", as is rear band and nose cap. Front band is SN "2509". Since the SNs are mixed but all within 100 numbers or so, the gun was probably used in this configuration. Buttplate is stamped "CS". "CS" surcharges on these guns are not normally encountered; however, this marking appears quite old and though it could have been done at any time, or even by a GAR post showing that their captured gun was Confederate, this mark adds to the aesthetics of the gun. Rear sling swivel is missing and has a screw placed contemporarily in its hole. Mr. Michel, in his notes, describes this gun as follows: "This musketoon, of the slimmer form in stock pattern probably represents a transition from New Orleans production to that of Athens, Ga. Although the lockplate is well marked as Athens production and dated 1863, it is serially numbered at 2419, about 100 numbers from the serial number which appears on the barrel, 2511. The brass front sight on the barrel is more characteristic of New Orleans production than Athens, as is the trigger guard, where the sling swivel is attached to a screw base rather than a lug on the trigger guard plate". CONDITION: Bbl and lock are gray/brown with scattered staining, nicks, dings, and pitting, especially at breech. Brass rear sight, bands, nose cap, buttplate, and trigger guard are cleaned. Stock has several breaks and repairs, including piece of wood missing at toe. Repair at wrist, several repairs around lock. Ramrod is replaced and is pitted around tip. Both front and rear sights appear orig. Rifling in bore is sharp but pitted. Tang screw appears replaced. 4-31291 JS128 (12,000-18,000)"
