Original Pre Civil War Springfield M1855 .58 cal Percussion Pistol in good displaying condition. Very rare gun with only a total of 4021 produced between 1855-1857. This example was cleaned at some point with heavy pitting but still displays great. The walnut stock is in good shape with normal wear from service. The mechanics are not functional. The hammer will only stay clicked in back position every so often. Hammer does release with the trigger, Has partial Springfield maker mark on the lock. The Eagle trap door for the percussion roll of caps is a replacement. Barrel is full length with rifling but pitted and has the original ramrod intact. Also has the "VP" inspection proof on the barrel. A great price on a hard to find example Civil War Weapon. Please see all photos for condition. Shipping is included.
