Model 1816 Confederate Braised Bolster Conversion Musket

 

A strong example of a U.S. Model 1816 musket altered to percussion, featuring a confederate braised bolster conversion and retaining its original .69 caliber smoothbore configuration.

 

The lock is marked SPRINGFIELD 1831 with a central U.S. stamp, showing a crisp and desirable early arsenal marking. The conversion is executed in the classic manner with an 1861-dated percussion hammer, indicating continued use and updating into the Civil War period.

 

The barrel retains visible inspection markings at the breech, including H&P 1861, clearly struck on the top flat. Metal surfaces throughout display a smooth, even dark patina, undisturbed and attractive.

 

A distinctive small brass, shield-shaped plaque is inset into the stock opposite the lock, engraved “C B 1”, overlapping one of the inspector cartouches—an interesting period embellishment or identification marking. Additional inspector cartouches remain visible on the left side of the stock.

 

The stock is solid with a consistent dark tone and light handling wear. A carved “A” is present just forward of the trigger guard, adding further period character. The musket is fitted with a reversed rear sight of 1855/1861 pattern.

 

A well-marked and visually appealing Model 1816 confederate conversion with strong Civil War-era features and unique stock embellishment.
