CIVIL WAR Era Antique Shotgun with CSA/FAYETTEVILLE Marked Lock CONFEDERATE
1863 Dated Likely Post-Bellum Parts Gun
Here we present an antique Short Percussion Shotgun with a Fayetteville Armory Lock made in 1863. This appears to be a post-war shotgun or musket build using the lock salvaged from a Fayetteville Musket.
The Fayetteville Rifle was a 2 banded rifle produced at the Confederate States Arsenal in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The machinery which produced these weapons was primarily that captured at the United States Arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, which was previously used to produce the U.S. Model 1855 Rifle. The weapon was produced in .58 caliber from early in 1862 until the capture and destruction of the arsenal by Union forces under General W. T. Sherman on March 11, 1865.
In February, 1862, the Fayetteville Observer, in describing the beginning of arms’ manufacturing at the arsenal, reported:
“A few days ago we were shown one of a number of rifles furnished at the C. S. Armory here. It is much the same in general appearance, as the U.S. rifle for some years made at Harper’s Ferry and at Springfield, Mass.; but for certain improvements, in the matter of sword bayonet, Maynard primer, and perfection of finish in all parts, it must be pronounced very superior. The back sights are set for 800 and 500 yards. Altogether, we think it the handsomest specimen of small arms, rifle or musket, we have ever seen-reflecting the greatest credit upon all concerned with its manufacture.”
The overall condition is good. Dark patina throughout. Functional action. Nipple quite battered. Smooth, dim bore. Stock shows much use and remains solid throughout.
