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.  SOLD
