Description:
CIVIL WAR Era Antique Pattern 1853 ENFIELD British Percussion Rifle-Musket
Made circa 1861 with Bayonet!
Here we present an antique Civil War-era Pattern 1853 Enfield Percussion Rifle-Musket, made at either the Royal Small Arms Factory (RASF) in Enfield, England, or by one of the many commercial manufacturers that made this pattern circa 1861. The Royal Small Arms Factory was a UK government owned rifle factory in Enfield. The factory produced British military rifles, muskets and swords from 1816 through 1988 when it closed. The Pattern 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.
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 very good. The barrel was refinished brown at some point. The action is excellent. The bore is dim with worn rifling. The stock is solid and shows some use. The bayonet is in good condition and fits over the muzzle but the locking collar is not able to slide behind the front sight.
