Springfield musket from 1861 American civil war general Custers army
52 in without musket
Dear Aubrey,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a US Army Springfield 1861 musket coming with a bayonet and scabbard. It is stamped with the usual proof and acceptance stamps of this period.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and no severe damage is visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 800 to 1600 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Gregory
