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.

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.

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.
