Description:
SOLD A very inyeresting Harpers Ferry made in 1815 as seen as the date on the lock, has undoutley seen a long life, possibley the Mexican Incuseion 1830's and the Civil War, 1860's, when it was possibly converted to percussion. Later used a fowler. The lock well marked and dated works well, and the 44 1/2" barrel of .700 caliber measured at the, but due to wear and use was issued at .69cal.
About .69 cal., 44 5/8'' barrel with an oxidized bore. This interesting old forager was created from a Model 1795 Harpers Ferry musket that was converted to percussion using the French side-lug method. The metal surfaces have aged to a lightly-dappled brown patina with speckles of softened pinprick pitting and a few small spots of old light oxidation scattered throughout, a couple long light brown streaks along the barrel, and a few minor handling marks here or there from the years. The barrel displays slightly softened markings. The markings on the lockplate have also been partially lost to time with a Federal Eagle ahead of the hammer and ''HARPERS / FERRY / 1815'' behind the hammer. The smooth walnut half stock rates perhaps very good with multiple cracks around the slightly loose buttplate, a couple small chips and a hairline crack around lockplate, and a few scattered minor handling marks from the years. The barrel is sighted with a brass bead and features an attractive full-length under rib with two thimbles and a nosecap holding a hickory brass tipped ramrod. 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
