Percussion cap rifle
If you check the side of the rifle you can clearly read 'Springfield 1847' making it (surprise, surprise...) a Springfield Model 1847 Musketoon. It's in perfect condition so it's probably a replica - PeeWee055 (talk) 03:35, 24 April 2015 (EDT)
- I'm pretty sure that the date stamped on the lock is just indicative of what year that particular rifle was manufactured rather than what pattern it is. For example, here is one stamped 1945, and here another stamped 1953. As for what these particular guns are, I am pretty sure they are just standard rifles rather than musketoons, as in the final image you can see that the rifle has three barrel bands (rather than the two of the musketoons). --commando552 (talk) 13:55, 24 April 2015 (EDT)
