M1842 info

Mislabeled auction titles are always a friend to the budget conscious! The best is a mislabeled title at an auction that has no phone bidding or internet bidding. It's getting harder and harder to find the latter, but that is certainly where the deals are.

Thanks @mrockwell , this is very helpful. I gave $615 for this musket at auction, and based on what I'd seen online I was happy with the price. It was described as a Model 1848, which may have thrown off some potential bidders. Plus, it was in Nebraska, so…

You got a very nice piece for a steal!
