"HARPERS FERRY MODEL 1816 MUSKET. SN NSN. Cal. 69. Mr. Michel describes this gun as follows: "Bolster alteration to percussion of Model 1816 Harpers Ferry musket. Lockplate is marked forward of the hammer with an eagle over 'US' and at the tail 'Harpers Ferry 1829'. Alteration with its two faceted bolster with a flat bottom resembles those performed by S. C. Robinson of Richmond, but narrow, unmarked hammer and crude fitting of the bolster atop the cut off pan is unlike the quality of Robinson alterations. Most likely this is simply one of the many alterations performed by any number of gunsmiths in the Confederacy to meet the exigencies of the war". You are bidding on an "attic" condition, untouched, all orig and complete, classic, Confederate, brazed bolster alteration with a very distinctive hammer showing typical hand-forged manufacture of Southern blacksmith. CONDITION: All metal surfaces are brown with pitting. Stock is sound and solid with scattered scrapes, nicks, and gouges. Cartouches are still visible from when gun was inspected in flint. 4-31271 JS201 (3,000-5,000)"
