Pre- Covid I went to the Armory in Springfield and saw the repeating pattern of these 1812 muskets on display.

Nice composition but I don't think they had percussion muskets in 1812. Did you type 1812 instead 1862?

The percussion musket was invented in 1805.

Thanks all. My mistake, it definitely looks like they were the 1862 model.

Good eye! Nice photo. I have built four rifles like those. A .36cal, a .45cal, a .50cal and a .54cal. The .54cal is a THUMPER!! The steel on them is case hardened so they look a little different. I like the look of the polished steel.

Great image!!!
The first time I have seen muskets "in the white". This is the way they were issued! most ended up "Browned" probabley from being rusted , cleaned and oiled many times.

They were as clean as new because essentially they were.
