What are these parts for?

[M1Garandy]

Found a pile of parts last night.

Complete lock assembly with mounting hardware marked Springfield 1853, a trigger guard, buttplate, front band, band spring, a middle band and a few other odds and ends.

Any idea what model of US musket they may be for based on the date on the lock?

Thanks.

1842 how about pics???

Lock assembly is from a 42 musket as it was the only type of weapon being made at Springfield in 1853. The rest would need to see pics to id.

Thanks for the info guys.

I looked at the pictures of the M1842 musket posted a couple of threads down the page. Looks like we have a match for all the parts.

Holdover, I can take pictures and email them to someone to post but I can't post them myself.

Would you be interested in selling the parts? Could you email pictures to me, especially of the bands? PM is on the way.
