Original Civil War Era French Mle 1842 Percussion Rifled Musket Half-Stocked for Hunting Use Empire Edged Weapons and still has the originalOriginal Item: Only One Available. Once a lovely French Musket but hard service probably in the U. S. Civil War and then afterwards having been half stocked for Civilian use it is now a bit of an old lady. Uncleaned and un cared for in long time storage she is looking for a nice Gentleman to care good care of her, she is French. Lock functions, but fires at half cock, which is very close to the nipple. Yours to love and display after a face lift or
