Description

Confederate Milledgeville Conversion Musket, 1816 Model 

Known as a braised bolter conversion – this example was dome in Milledgeville, Georgia

This .69-caliber smoothbore musket is an 1816 model converted at Milledgeville and marked to L. Pomeroy. The lockplate bears an eagle and “L. Pomeroy” beneath the bolster, along with “US” and an 1827 date at the rear; the barrel tang is also dated 1827. The barrel breech is stamped “US,” inspector initials “JM,” and a proof mark.

 

The lock is in working order, with the hammer holding at half cock and full cock. Both sling swivels are intact, and the musket retains its original button-tipped ramrod. The lockplate has a silver-gray appearance, while the other steel parts show a smooth, dark-brown patina. The stock is solid, with honest wear, minor dings and scratches, and one fine crack approximately three inches long on the lower right side. The top of the buttplate is stamped “US.”

 

A crisp, complete example of a Milledgeville conversion musket.  Just as issued to CS troops!
