Civil War Era British Birmingham Trade P1860 2 Band Enfield Rifle Dated 1861 Tower
Description: This is a fine example of a P1860 2 band Enfield Rifle. It has a 33” barrel with a slick rifled bore. It is about a .58 caliber. The barrel breech is marked with a series of proof marks. The rifle is a product of the Birmingham Trade. There are 2 sets of proof marks on the breech. Thomas Turner’s initials, TT, are among the barrel breech markings. The bottom of the barrel is full of markings including the maker’s name, HENRY CLIVE. The barrel is equipped with a long range sight graduated to 1100 yards. It also has a numbered bayonet lug which would correspond to a sword bayonet.. The lock plate is dated 1861. On the inside ,again, there are many markings including the makers name, R.& W. ASTON. The butt plate, trigger guard, and nose cap are brass. The rest of the metal is steel with a smooth brown patina. The barrel bands have markings that are hard to see but there is enough visible to see that they are matching. The stock is in very good condition and the maker’s name appears in the ramrod channel. There is one chip on the left side around the barrel channel and a couple of smaller ones on the right side but that’s the worst of it. It is possible someone might have refinished it. There are 2 matching proof marks in the wood in the rear of the trigger bar. I believe the ramrod is original but so far I do not see any markings but the inside of the slot shows age as well as the rest of the metal. It is threaded on the end. The hammer holds on full cock and releases when the trigger is squeezed. With all the markings someone might be able to trace the rifle’s travels. One thing for sure there are NO British War Department acceptance markings so its no telling where it has traveled. It is about as nice an example of one of these as you will find. I can do a layway with 50% down and the remainder due in 30 Days. SOLD Antique: Yes |
