- Lot Description
.70 caliber, 27.25" round barrel, browned finish. Walnut stock. Wickham contract US M-1822 (1816 Type II) National Armory brown musket, altered to percussion by the Belgian method. Marked WT Wickham on the lock, with PHILA and the date, 1825, behind the hammer, and matching 1825 date on tang. Shortened to musketoon configuration during the period of use, with rear band left in place and upper band moved back to new position and retained by a nail. Stock and barrel altered in a very professional, arsenal manner. Hammer very crude with a nearly flat neck, and a tall, un-checkered spur. The hammer profile and quality of the shortening suggests possible Confederate arsenal shortening. Multiple initials and the name JW Hill are crudely carved in the stock and appear to be period. Numerous soldiers with the initials "JW" and the last name "Hill" served on both sides during the Civil War, so a positive identification is unlikely. The musket is a nice, untouched example of a likely real Confederate "cut down."
Good overall, retaining some original arsenal brown finish with a deeply oxidized patina, scattered surface scale and scattered light to moderate pitting. Lock functional, but will not hold on half-cock. Stock with bumps and dings.Condition
