CIVIL WAR Era Antique TOWER Marked ENFIELD Pattern 1853 Perc. Rifle-Musket
Civil War Era Dated “1858” w/SLING and Bring Back Letter
Here we present an antique British Tower Marked Civil War Era Pattern 1853 Enfield Percussion Rifle-Musket, made in Birmingham, England in 1858. The P-1853 was Britain’s adopted rifle from 1853 until the Snider system was adopted to transform arms into breech-loaders. In addition to its use around the world with the British military, this was one of the most popular arms for the infantry during the American Civil War. Of all the British arms, the Pattern 1853 is perhaps the best known and regarded weapon that replaced all earlier infantry models in the British Army.
The Enfield 1853 rifle-musket was used by both the North and the South in the American Civil War and was the second most widely used infantry weapon in the war, surpassed only by the Springfield Model 1861 Rifled Musket. The Confederates imported more Enfields during the course of the war than any other small arm, buying from private contractors and gun runners. It has been estimated that over 900,000 P53 Enfields were imported into America and saw service in every major engagement of the war.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. This example sports a solid stock with an expected amount of wear. Good leather sling. Clear markings. “1858/TOWER” marked lock.
