Springfield Armory and Harpers Ferry Armory began producing the model 1842 before the Mexican War began. Palmetto Armory in the South also made these muskets.
At least one contractor also produced these.
The completely enclosed wrench securely fit around the musket nipple and would insure a firm grip to ease the musket nipple out should the need arise. In very good plus condition.
