Potsdam Musket Perryville Battlefield Pickup
Prussian Model 1809 Musket – Relic Condition with "Perryville, KY" Carving
This impressive Prussian Model 1809 musket is a true relic of 19th-century military history, measuring 56.5 inchesoverall with a 41.25-inch smoothbore barrel in .72 caliber. Originally produced as a flintlock, this musket was later converted to a percussion firing system, featuring a curved cone bolster seat forged directly onto the breech—a common modification for weapons pressed back into service during the American Civil War.
This example is in relic condition but remains in solid shape, especially given its age and field use. What makes this piece particularly intriguing is the "Perryville, KY" carving on the stock, strongly suggesting its presence at or origin from the Battle of Perryville—one of the largest and most significant engagements fought in Kentucky during the Civil War.
Whether you're a Civil War collector or a military history enthusiast, this musket offers an authentic and visually striking full rifle relic display that tells a compelling story. Firearms with battlefield associations like this are getting harder to find—especially in displayable condition.

Prussian Model 1809 Musket
Converted from flintlock to percussion
.72 caliber smoothbore, 56.5" overall length
