Springfield Model 1795 Flintlock Musket Detailed Overview | Maryland Marked US Military Firearm

The Model 1795 is historically significant as the first official standardized U.S. martial arm and the first firearm manufactured at the U.S. armories. The Model 1795 was based on the French Model 1766, widely used during the Revolution, and was the main infantry arm of the War of 1812. This musket has the correct Type I markings and features, and the lack of a date suggests it was produced in 1795 to 1799, prior to the adoption of the date markings. It has the first style of lock marking with “SPRINGFIELD“ in a vertical curve behind the hammer, and at the center of the lock is the shielded eagle looking to its right above a script “US“. Note the distinctive curls on the frizzen toe and top jaw guide used on the Type I muskets. “P/eagle/V“ proofs marked on the left of the breech ahead of deep condemnation marks and a faint “US“ marked on top of the breech. “MARYLAND“ marked in large letters ahead of the lock.
