This is a Civil War period Potsdam Musket. It is in fair
shape. The butt of the stock does have some cracks as you
can see in the first picture. But is only mentioned for
exacted detail. The lock plate is marked 1835. And has the
arsenal marking Neisse. And the barrel is marked 1826. Its
in good shape. But it is missing the rear site. The action
works real well. But the plate is a little loose. But The
price is so cheap enough that you could use this gun for
parts. Which I wouldn't because this gun is in nice
enough condition.

Now this is a neat little find. This is a Civil War period
dug pistol. It is a Smith & Wesson. Its actually a rare
little pistol. Its serial numbers is 2139.. Its barrel
was missing. Because of the design of the pistol it was easy
to fall off. It still has its original handles. But the
hammer is missing. And what I like about the pistol is that
it's still loaded with the original 22 cal bullets. The
serial number would make this a type III in the Flaydermans
book.

This is a
nice Civil War era conversion of a single shot military
pistol. The gun started life as a Asa Waters manufactured
single shot military pistol. On the lockplate are clear
markings of the original production date of 1837 as well as
the Milbury, Massachusetts production location.And the
barrel has the US markings on it. When it was made it
would have been a flintlock pistol. At the outbreak of the
Civil War many small firms converted these flintlocks into
percussion. This one has the simple unmarked hammer and the
drum style conversion to add the nipple. The action works
really well on all positions. It has a nice
appearance. Its wood has a dark brown look to it. And the
barrel and lock plate has a nice dark look to it.

This is a nice .71 cal French musket. It is a 1822 model.
The stock is in fair shape but it does have the small worm
holes in it. Which I like that about the musket. The ram rod
is a replacement but looks good with the gun. But I believe
that it would it would be a good way to by a gun for hanging
on the wall, without spending a lot of money. Everything
works and is a real tight gun.
