Description: .69 Confederate issue for the Model 1842 rifled musket manufactured in one of the Southern arsenals. It would have issued with a paper cartridge which has not survived in the ground. At the beginning of the Civil War most of the Regular Army and most State militia units were armed with the older Model 1842 musket, a smooth bore. These were later re-rifled for better accuracy at the armories during the War, hence the term “Rifled Musket”. Confederate rounds are not found in the quantities that Federal rounds are. Their supplies were limited and the soldiers were much more careful. Confederate soldiers were commended if they still had a few rounds left after a battle; they made their shots count. The white patina is due to oxidation in the ground which can vary according the soil. If they rested in wet ground they still retain some of the lead color from lack of oxygen. Chancellorsville Battlefield. The box size is 2 1/4” x 3 1/4”. The relic comes in the white display box (with lid) with the description as shown. All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original as stated. A hand signed and dated “Certificate of Authenticity” will be issued by Collectors Frame with a photograph and description of the items purchased.
