US Civil War Austrian Lorenz Jägerstutzen Export Model 1854 rifle. The overall length is approximately 43.5" (109.6cm). The approx. 28" (71 cm) octagon to round (about the last 4.5") .54 caliber (13.9mm) barrel has an excellent bore with strong rifling (The barrel has been lined. It should be a great shooter). The overall metal finish is a smooth brown patina. There are light wrench marks on the barrel in the breech area. The barrel has the arch-shaped rear sight with slide in a screw-clamped support, scaling from 4-10 (400 to 1000 paces). The walnut stock with cheek rest is very good with no chips or cracks and the expected dents and dings of an issue gun. The lock and hammer are bright with light staining. The lock is marked “855" (1855) in the center with a shield stamp to the rear. The bright iron mountings include two-barrel keys, front and rear swivel, conical ramrod pipe, and ramrod. A reproduction sling is included. The action functions correctly. At least 6,249 Jägerstutzens were imported by the North during the Civil War. They are often called Austrian short rifles. If you collect European imported arms for the Civil War, this is a key piece.
