Description:
<<<<SOLD>>>>1864 DATED PROVIDENCE TOOL COMPANY CIVIL WAR CONTRACT RIFLED-MUSKET
With a 58 cal. 40″ bbl. This is a very good example of Civil War “Providence Tool Company” contract of which a total of 70,000 model 1861 rifled muskets were delivered during the war to U.S. Government. Consistent with other 1861 contracts being iron mounted, fitted with three flat bands that are spring retained, two leaf rear sight and swelled tulip tip ramrod. This gun is properly marked “US/PROVIDENCE TOOL CO/PROVIDENCE RI” with Eagle forward of hammer on lock and is veryu ;ight registratiin from wear, and “1864” on tail of lock and on bbl flat with “VP/Eagle Head” proof and some tool marks found on left side of breech. The metal in th white as issued. Providence Tool Company unlike many contractors fabricated every part of their gun with a possible exception of the rear sights. Though this gun is dated 1864 it most likely predates June 10 as single leaf rear sights had been adopted and this gun still exhibits the earlier standard 1861 pattern two leaf sight. This particular contract is very good condition and appears ro be orig. and complete in every regard. Good to very good overall. Metal is gray/brown showing old cleaning, staining and tool and dent marks especially around breech. Markings are all discernible though lock markings are weak . Stock is sound and very good overall , with no cartouche. This gun functions mechanically and has clean rifling. Comes with a more modern type leather sling .When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have a web site .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. 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. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You
