Description:
Serial #8894, .50-70, 32 1/2" barrel with a fine, bright bore that has some light-medium freckling within the grooves at the muzzle. This rifle has an 1863 dated lockplate with the barrel and bands retaining an armory bright finish with traces of brown freckling along the wood border. The receiver and breech-block have visible original case-hardening with the balance faded to a rich, plum-brown patina. The serial numbers on the barrel and receiver are matching, the breech block lock-up is tight, and the action functions flawlessly. The walnut stock has an added oil finish over lightly cleaned wood and a few scattered minor surface marks and handling blemishes, including a small repair just ahead of the comb on the left side. The “ESA" inspector cartouche is faint, but still legible, and there is a small rack number stamp on the left side: “20". The rifle comes with a correct metal ramrod and is in fine condition overall.
