“Crown/I” Proofed .54 Caliber Longarm

Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique European Military Pattern Rifle, made circa the Civil War Era likely in Western Europe. The American Civil War happened during a period of great firearms advancement throughout the world, but particularly in the United States. The primary transition was from muzzle-loaders to breech-loaders, from loose ball and powder to self-contained cartridges. Dozens of different small arms, namely cavalry carbines, were used in the conflict. The war saw obsolete technology fighting next to the cutting edge, and both sides needed it all. Imagine the logistical nightmare of supplying so many different types of ammunition!

When the Civil War began, both sides were desperate for small arms. Arms purchasers and speculators scoured Europe and England for small arms available for purchase. Though this example has an unknown maker, no doubts it was made to cash in on the American conflict.

The overall condition is very good. Original mixed brown and gray patinas. Strong action. The bore is bright with strong rifling, slightly dimming at the muzzle. Markings are legible. Visible numbers match. This example sports a solid stock with two crack on the left side plate (stable). The wrist is repaired, (stable). “H” is stamped behind the rear trigger guard tang.
