Frequently ignored in the earlier years of collecting, ’captured and repaired’ or ’C & R’ Confederate used arms have come into their own in recent years as research has been shared and as evidenced by CAPT. Steven W. Knott’s definitive work ’Confederate Reissued Firearms’. Identifiable as such by a telltale font letter stamp located on the underside of the stock just forward of the trigger guard the mark placed by Confederate ordnance officers supervising the cleaning and repair, is rather innocuous to all but the experienced eye, however the distinctively ’cat tailed’ Q Confederate approval marking is of considerable significance particularly as the subject arm frequently shows marked period alteration, some from the Confederate cleaning and repair process and some by issue personal preference or make do field repair. Best described here by our illustrations as to overall condition and eye appeal, this Model 1816 Springfield smooth bore, cone in barrel, percussion conversion retains the original barrel shortened to 35 ¼ inches with a bead front sight. The unmarked, slotted for sighting, middle band is set forward of the usual location with filled band spring ports. The Springfield 1832 dated lock has what is likely a CS arsenal made hammer. All original to the Civil War years, this altered musket measures 51 inches in total length sports the usual array of Mod.1816 inspection markings and the all-important ’cat tailed’ Q Confederate approval mark just forward on the trigger guard tang.
