Civil war conversion musket made by E Whitney of New Haven CT.
Given to me by a friend
Dear Stephen,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a Union Army E. Whitney (New Haven CT) conversion rifle with a percussion lock dated 1833.
This piece is in medium condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 600 to 1.200 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,
Georg
