Description:
Antique PROVIDENCE TOOL Company CONNECTICUT Militia .433 Cal. PEABODY Rifle
With “CONN/1366 Marked on Plate Beneath Buttstock
Here we present an antique Peabody Breech Loading Rifle, made by the Providence Tool Company in Providence, Rhode Island circa 1866-71. Henry Peabody developed this sturdy, single-shot, breechloading rifle during the American Civil War and it compared very favorably against the competition. It might have been adopted by the U.S. military had the conflict not ended when it did. Instead, the federal government decided to adopt the Allin Trapdoor Conversion of the ubiquitous Model 1861 Muskets that were in surplus after the war. Several states, such as Massachusetts and Connecticut, purchased these rifles for their militias.
This rifle is chambered in the original .433 Peabody cartridge unlike many that were sent back to the factory in about 1877 for refurbishment and to be re-barreled for the .45-70 GOVT cartridge. It features a very neat rear sight that is capable of fine elevation adjustments! This specimen is marked with “PEABODY PAT./JULY 22 1862” on the left side of the lock and “MAN’F’D BY / PROVIDENCE TOOL CO. / PROV. R.I.” on the right side of the lock. Single letter inspection marks are found throughout.
The overall condition is very good. Original patina. The action is excellent. The bore is in good shape with strong rifling. The walnut stock is solid and shows use.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 33 inches.
