F77. BELGIAN MADE FRENCH M-1842 RIFLED MUSKET: The musket is in about Fine overall condition, with no missing or replaced parts. The gun retains the original sling swivels, the original long-range rear site (graduated to a very optimistic 800 yards) and the original full-length ramrod, complete with threads. The back action lock is marked with the maker name T. TILKIN / LIEGE in a two line arc behind the hammer. The gun has the typical Liege proof marks at the breech, as well as multiple Crown / T marks on various parts, clearly Tilkin's maker mark. The lock works crisply on all positions, and like most European guns of the era, the half-cock notch is barely 1/8" off the cone (nipple). The gun has a pleasing, smooth bronze-brown patina over all of the metal parts, with only some very light peppering and pinpricking present on the metal. Only the butt plate shows any significant roughness or pitting, with a dark and somewhat rough overall texture. The bore is in about very good condition and is rifled with four shallow grooves and the rifling remains strong and crisp. The bore has a dark seasoned color to it and appears mostly free of major pits or serious corrosion, with some light scattered pitting, mostly confined to the grooves. The stock is made of highly figured walnut that is nearly furniture grade and is very attractive. The stock is free of any breaks, splits or cracks and has no repairs. Even the ramrod channel shows only moderate wear and not heavy splintering, which is often encountered with these muskets. There is a patch of very dark discoloration around the trigger guard area of the bottom of the stock that appears to be front the gun being stored near or above fire or flame. The wood is quite dark with an almost black and charred appearance. However, the area does not appear to have actually burned. There are a large number of bumps, dings and handling marks on the stock, as well as series of light scratches and indentations, mostly around the wrist on the lock side of the musket. There is also a light surface scrape on the right hand side of the stock between the lower and middle barrel bands, the result of the lower band being slid forward carelessly. None of these marks are structural or particularly serious in terms of affecting the overall display of this attractive musket.

Overall, this is a very attractive, complete and fully functional example of the type of import musket that saw significant use during the first 12-18 months of the Civil War, especially by Union troops in the Western Theater. The gun displays wonderfully, is 100% complete and correct. Every Civil War long arm display needs at least one of these big-bore import muskets to show the guns that many soldiers carried, while wishing that they had been issued a Springfield or Enfield! This is really a lot of musket for the money~~$995.00~~ SALE PRICE $850.00

F106. AUSTRIAN M1854 "LORENZ" RIFLE-MUSKET: This Lorenz rifle-musket is in all original on touch condition with great patina. The stock retains all its original finish and has no break to cracks, has never has been sanded or alter, and the metal has matching patina on all parts. The lock is marked "861" for the year 1861, and the barrel is maker marked "IF SEDER." It is .58 caliber, has no cheek rest in the stock, and has a folding leaf rear sight. There are several hash marks on the barrel and 6 in the stock, as well as a cross carved in the barrel, which resembles the Confederate battle flag. Also, the ramrod is not original, but a crude replacement that looks blacksmith made. For these reason, I feel this may have been carried by a Southern soldier. Overall, a great Lorenz!$975.00

F112. REMINGTON NEW MODEL ARMY, 44 CALIBER: This is a Remington New Model Army, .44 caliber with a blue, mixing to brown finish. This has been attic stored and brown patina is over deep blue. At this time 25% blue is visible. The bore is bright fine condition, and the crisp tight action. The grips shows seven kill notches and an initial "P" carved long ago. Very good to fine overall, no visible cartouche is visible, light edge loss in edge of grip. Serial number 49823.~~$1950.00~~ SALE PRICE $1695.00

F113. CONFEDERATE ARSENAL CONVERSION MUSKET: This musket is a Confederate arsenal conversion musket, which is in great untouched attic condition. It originally was a M1816 flintlock and you can see the Springfield mark and an eagle head on the lock plate. The drum bolster is crudely configured, and the hammer almost has a blacksmith made look to it. All metal parts have the same aged patina, and the stock matched as well. Under the middle band you can see a period arsenal repair to the stock. Even the original ram rod has the same matching patina. Confederate conversion muskets are a good buy since they are more affordable, and underscore the make-do disposition of the Confederate war machine. $1450.00

F117. BURNSIDE CARBINE - 5TH MODEL: This is a 5th model Burnside carbine. It is all original and complete. The walnut stock is original and displays normal wear, and no cartouche is viable. The metal has a nice even gray to brown patina and no rust. The barrel has no pitting, and the lands & groves are strong. The top of the barrel is marked Cast Steel 1862, the lock is marked BURNSIDE RIFLE Co PROVIDENCE, RI., and the serial number 18016 are matching. The saddle ring is present. The breech opens with ease, and the trigger/hammer works in both half & full cock. Overall a decent Burnside carbine.~~$1350.00~~ SALE PRICE $1250.00
