1862 3 band Springfield

To those near to or willing to make the drive to near Fort Worth.

On or about 10/25/19 there will be an 1862 58 Springfield smoothie with bayonet going for sale in Boyd, TX. I have had it in my hands. IMO for its age it is in very good shape.

The only hitch is they will not post pix or ship. The purchaser has to view and pay at the site.

I was thrilled just be liked enough that they allowed me to see and hold it. If I had the funds I would snatch this piece of history up in a heartbeat.

If you are interested in going to look at it PM me and when I'm sure it is available I'll provide a phone number.

I am not involved in this sale other than to pass this info on.

A .58 Smoothbore? And it's an original piece?

Should bring about $400-$500 if it is in good shape.
Was probably bored out to smoothbore after the war for use as a shotgun.
Rifled or not, Springfields are not exactly rare. Thousands of them are still around, and many of those are still in use.

I said only if you are interested. I post what it seemed. This is not a pricing or discussion.
