Description:
An interesting Civil War era muaket of about 10 bore, with a 34" barrel with a lightly oxidized bore. The barrel is mostly a smooth gray patina showing some streaks of plum-brown finish, a few spots of old light pitting and minor oxidation. The barrel shows two small proof marks on the left flat that actually appear to be French and the lockplate shows the familiar crown at the rear and "1862 / TOWER" in the center. The brass hardware consists of dual ramrod thimbles with tailpipe, triggerguard and buttplate and have been cleaned mostly brightand appear to be Enfield rifle . The walnut stock and hardwood under-rib remain in about very good condition as lightly cleaned showing a small filler repair ahead of the lockplate and along the right side butt, small repaired cracks at the upper tang and some scattered mild staining. The under-rib shows a couple of small cracks near the tip and a brass-tipped hickory ramrod with worm hardware is present. The lock function well mechanically. An interesting fowler for the mantel, and possibly broght home by a Civil War vet and converted into a useful fowler to bring game home for the family.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
