Description:
NSN, .58 caliber, 33" barrel with a fine bore that has mild pitting along its length. This well-made percussion rifle has about 30% of the original blue remaining on the barrel which blends smoothly into a freckled plum-brown patina mixing with gray on the balance. The lockplate too has a dark plum-brown patina which carries over onto the hammer and there is pinprick pitting on the hammer and bolster as well. The lock and breech markings are still crisp and clear. The brass fixtures are in very good shape and have a once-cleaned pale yellow-ochre patina with scattered small marks and blemishes but are starting to re-patina nicely. The walnut stock has an excellent original oil finish with small handling marks and surface bruises scattered about. The cartouches are crisp and clear on the left side of the stock and a similarly dark plum iron ramrod is included. This is a fine example of a "Zouave Rifle" and would make a great addition to any collection. Antique
