"CONFEDERATE, SOUTH CAROLINA ASSEMBLED, MODEL 1842 MUSKET. SN NSN. Cal. 69. This "attic" condition musket appears in as-found condition. Colors of metal and wood match throughout with possible addition of ramrod. Bbl has standard "VP" / eagle proof as found on some Palmetto muskets, and buttplate is surcharged "SC" which is also typical of Palmetto muskets. Lockplate is unmarked and shows some metal stress lines typical of Confederate or U.S. Condemned manufacture. Stock is made from parts assembled from 2 guns. Note the marriage under rear band of forestock and buttstock. This gun has been together and stored for a long time such that staining and patina match both pieces of wood to bbl band and musket bbl. Mr. Michel described this gun as follows: "Generally a Model 1842 musket in configuration, but stock from buttplate to rear band is crudely made with forend joined under rear band, which is turned rearward to support join between butt and forestock. Buttplate is from Palmetto musket, stamped 'SC'. Lockplate is unmarked but does not appear to have been filed to remove markings. Inletting for lockplate has been done with circular hand drill. Three bands are all orig M1842 type. Although stock is pieced, both sections are unquestionably orig and vintage". CONDITION: All metal surfaces are uncleaned, brown and pitted. Stock in 2 pcs is sound with scattered dings, scrapes, and scratches with no discernible markings. Bbl proofs and "SC" surcharge are clear. 4-31251 JS198 (3,000-5,000)"
