1810 Flintlock Springfield musket
« on: April 19, 2012, 08:48:26 PM »
Any ideas on the value range for one of these in original condition?  No provenance attached.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Rob.Os it original flint or a reconversion? Fladerman says 1810 date is a type II Good $1800 to fine $4250 if original flint.If its percussion $600 to $950.

Thanks George...it's flint, need to verify original or not.

You need to be a little clearer; you are talking about a smoothbore musket, not a rifle. You have a M1795 musket, Type II, not a rifle.  Springfield made no rifled arms until 1855.
