This is the Springfield Model 1842 percussion musket that my grandfather obtained somewhere in the mists of time.
I finally got a cabinet maker to construct a cabinet, and I just recently mounted it on my office wall.

Nice job, just make sure you have an up to date security system, these muskets have a significant dollar value attached to them today. Eye candy to a thief. What is the condition of the rifle?

Age patina, naturally. No rust. I don't know it the firing tube is clear. It might be fireable, but I am happy if it's only a wall hanger.

That is a fitting tribute to an amazing piece of American history. That is a beautiful display case.
