Original Civil War Springfield M1861 Percussion Rifle Musket with a Richmond Virginia Lockplate. The barrel and lockplate have been tinned or have a similar coating possible for Navy Usage. The stock is in great shape with normal wear from service. The mechanics are fully functional and the hammer clicks in both positions. Marked C.S. Richmond Va. in front of the hammer and 1862 on the rear of the lockplate. Complete with original ramrod and all barrel band with swivels. Has a U.S. marked buttplate. A great overall musket that will display strong in any Civil War collection. Great research project with awesome history. Please see all photos.
