What makes this musket noteworthy

This NSN-era piece, manufactured circa 1840s–1850s, is chambered in .67 caliber with a 36″ round barrel — a configuration common to military smoothbores of the period. The barrel exhibits a smooth grey/brown patina consistent with age and service, while the lock plate remains unmarked, suggesting a regional or reissued history rather than factory stamping. Bright brass furniture and Nepalese script on the trigger guard point to regional reissue and use, which adds clear provenance for collectors and historians.

Mechanical condition and handling

The stock shows evidence of cleaning and light handling impressions but remains solid overall. Importantly for a shooter or display piece, the action functions properly and holds at both half and full cock — a critical safety and functional indicator for a percussion musket of this era. The musket is accompanied by its original socket bayonet, preserving the complete officer’s kit aesthetic.

Why .67 caliber matters

.67 caliber smoothbore loads offer an authentic shooting profile with heavy round balls or patched balls, delivering substantial momentum at close ranges. For historical reenactment, educational demonstrations, or controlled range firing, the caliber reproduces period ballistics and recoil characteristics that smaller modern calibers cannot replicate. This musket’s 36″ barrel supports consistent bore harmonics and sighting for smoothbore performance.
