Description:
The lockplate is marked U.S. above Bridesburg and an eagle forward of the hammer and 1863 to the rear of the hammer. Lockplate and hammer finish does not match the rest of the rifle and neither do the trigger guard assembly and buttplate. The gun has been mostly cleaned, except for the above exceptions, and is free from major pitting and just beginning to show patina coloration. The barrel is marked V over P over Eagle on the bevel and 1862 on the flat. There is no visible cartouche. The rifling is highly visible at the muzzle and the barrel gauges .583", only three thousandths of an inch overbore. Remarkable, to say the least. All barrel bands are marked U and are consistent in finish, except for the rearmost band, which is an obvious replacement. The wood has been refinished at some point, but is generally quite good, except for some useage dents and scratches on the left flat of the stock, as shown in the photos. That said, the photos tell the story of this rifled CW weapon and should be reviewed. Buyer pays shipping and insurance. USPS money orders or Cashier's check only, please. There is a three day inspection and return period, beginning on the day the rifle is delivered to buyer by the carrier, provided that it is returned unfired and not disassembled in the exact same condition it was shipped to the buyer in, with all parts intact and none swapped out. No FFL required for this antique weapon. Thanks for looking.
