Between 1848 and 1860 in the Springfield and Harper’s Ferry’s arsenals about 700,000 Model 1816 muskets were converted to percussion lock type. Our replica reproduces the conversion according to the system Samuel Colt made from 1855 to 1858 on many thousands of the muskets purchased from the US Army stockpile held in New York. The Colt conversion used the original touch hole to screw in the drum (equipped with a transverse plug screw for cleaning) and replaced the hammer with one of unique design. A quantity of about 23,500 of these muskets, with rifled barrels, was shipped to Messina in August 1860 to be distributed to the “1000 followers of Garibaldi” during the famous “1000’s expedition”, but probably only half had been distributed. Our Model 1816 has satin steel furniture, the lock is marked with HARPER’S FERRY 1816, the American Eagle and U.S. letters.

The Springfield Model 1861 is the classic small arm of the Civil War. They were produced at the Springfield armory and by 20 contract companies for use by Northern troops (Confederate troops captured the Harpers Ferry arsenal very early in the war and moved the machinery south. What was left of the armory was destroyed). Contract arms were identical to those made at the Springfield Armory with the exception of the manufacturer's name stamped on the lock plate. Over 700,000 '61 Springfield's were produced. They saw service with both the Regular and Volunteer Regiments. These were coveted arms often being replacements for lower quality foreign or earlier smooth bores. Once troops got hold of a Springfield, they did not let them go. This piece features a one-piece forged barrel; military style sights; steel butt plate, trigger guard and barrel bands; swelled ramrod like the original musket. The lock is marked “1861 Springfield” with an eagle. One piece walnut oil finished stock.
