Civil War Era US Model 1864 Springfield Musket Modified to a Shotgun
Item Details
A Civil War Era US Model 1864 Springfield Musket modified to a shotgun.
This Civil War Period Musket more than likely originally had the standard 40’ barrel when made. After the Civil War, at some point in time this musket ended with a shortened barrel that measures 33’. The lock is dated ‘1864’ and has the ‘EAGLE’ motif and ‘U.S.’ over ‘SPRINGFIELD’ in front of the hammer. All steel surfaces have a dark brown rust aged patina. The stock has been reduced to just in front of the rear barrel band.
