ORIGINAL
MODEL 1855 .54 CALIBER MUSKET
WIPER:
Definitely a smaller diameter wiper than the .58 caliber
wipers of this period, but identical in form to the
other conversion firearm wipers of the period, this is a
unique gun tool and perhaps made up for issue with the
Mississippi Rifles pressed into service early in the
Civil War prior to those arms being rebored to .58
caliber. Every soldier carried one of these in his
cartridge box. In excellent condition with the
arsenal finish intact, this is a nice piece to complete
your musket display.
