Description:
With a caliber of .58 cal., and an artillery length  33” barrel with a partially bright about good bore showing light pitting throughout the rifling, but far above average. The metal surfaces have aged to a light-moderately oxidized gray brown patina with heavy pitting on the buttplate, the balance only moderate. The lockplate markings remain clear with “1864” behind the hammer and all other markings are a lighter refistration. The walnut stock rates perhaps very good as cleaned, the  nose of  a brass cap,  with an added coat of finish,and some scattered light handing marks. There are no visible cartouches and what appears to be “HA” or perhaps “TA” is carved in the right side of the buttstock. The original rear sight has been removed leaving a shallow divot,with an istalled plate of  an early peep sight . With  a new nipple and bead front sight and new peep rear sight have been installed,  is strong and crisp rhat works well. Possibly a Conferderate reworked late war captured gun that would make a very good re-enactor weapon. Comes with a cupped ram-rod.When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith  before  shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost.   We don’t have a web  site .I prefer money orders or a check.  Item ships when funds come in. I try to keep guns  affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of  older guns If you attempt to buy,  you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed.  Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only.  I’m easy to get along with. Thank You
