Euroarms .58 caliber
« on: January 31, 2007, 04:00:05 PM »
I have had this gun in my safe for 16 years now and never really paid that much attention to it other than the occasional cleaning. I got it on trade from a buddy and shot it a couple of times and put it up.  Anyway, maybe somebody here can help me figure out if it is just a conversation piece or maybe worth somethin on a trade.  It has two bands on the barrel, says Made in Italy-Euroarms of America on the barrel and London Armoury Co. by the hammer.  The barrel and metal parts are in decent shape with no dings but minor rust spots while the wood has alot of tiny dings and what looks like fingernail dents in it like it is soft or something. Thanks

Over the years, Euroarms has produced many different models of muskets. Here is a link with pictures of current offerings. Take a look, and it may help you decide which one you have. http://www.blockaderunner.com/Catalog/catpg1.htm

Thanks Cowpox!! It is the 1861 Enfield Musketoon.  I figured it was just an old no-name beater, shows how much I know, glad I kept it clean.. Again thanks, I appreciate your help. 
Another question for the Re-enactors maybe, do they use these replicas in this type of thing as it states the originals were used by cavalry and artillery.
