So maybe $13.25 for musket and sling then. According to what William Price said in The Civil War Handbook, the average cost of a musket in the 1860s was $13 (He compared this to an M1 Garand from WWII which he said was $105). Talk about how things have changed, though it does put into perspective the buying power of the dollar then and now Last edited on Thu Sep 29th, 2011 09:40 am by Hellcat |
