Description:
This ole' gal has been around the block a few times. Dated 1812 on the lock plate and butt-plate the hammer still full cocks, and the half cock is not working. The barrel with heavy brown patina is 35 1/2" long with a narrow dovetail front sight and an added rear sight looks like a lump, but might be worn down. Bore is good and has some recent surface corrosion.This gun hasn't been messed with in over 100+ years. Butt-stock has a 19th century anchor, letter J, and a star engraved on it long ago.these were converted in the South at the out break of the Civil War, as there was a severe shortage of useable arms available for battle. As is often the case the stock broke from repeated barrel dis assemblies to thoroughly clean the gun, and the wood is missing up to the back band. I find these guns in attics and the family members aren't quite sure how long they've been there, or how they've gotten there. During wartime battle field pick-ups were common to send back home! We don’t have asite .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. If you can only pay with a card let me know. I hope you like my wide selection of unusual guns, knives and gun parts. Shipping price determined by zip code. I try to keep the prices affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you BUY IT NOW you must still contact us for details buy it now doesn't end the sale, it just sends an email telling us you want to buy this gun. A phone call won’t secure a sale! Not home many times, the first buyer by email buys the gun !Thissite doesnot close down a sale when you do a BUY IT NOW like Ebay!I can get six buy it nows in an hour, first buyer to email gets the guns, others are in second place! Best to send another email . Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.
