Description
Fine overall example of the standard issue weapon to US infantry enlisted soldiers during the American Civil War. Manufactured at the Springfield Armory in Massachusetts, this is a beauty to behold–bright metal, crisp action, strong bore–it has it ALL. Only the second year of manufacture for the model, which was discontinued in 1863 when the Model 1863, Type I was introduced.
This is a primary weapon of any Civil War collection and a keeper!
