Antique BRITISH ARMY Pattern 1853 ENFIELD Infantry Rifle-Musket TOWER .577
British “CROWN/VR” & “1856/TOWER Marked w/BAYONET
Description: Antique BRITISH ARMY Pattern 1853 ENFIELD Infantry Rifle-Musket TOWER .577 British “CROWN/VR” & “1856/TOWER Marked w/BAYONET Here we present an antique British Tower Pattern 1853 Enfield Three Band Percussion Rifle-Musket, made in 1856 in England. The P53 was the British Military Ordnance Board’s choice for adoption as the primary long arm in 1853. It was considered the apex European military gun of that time, introduced by the British War Department after several studies to improve the calibers and the dimensions of the previous models. However, it kept the same general appearance of the earlier pattern 1851. The overwhelming majority of P53 Enfield Rifles were made by commercial gun makers in Birmingham and London under contract. This gun features steel barrel bands, and the ramrod tip is shaped with the characteristic jag slot. It has been estimated that over 900,000 P53 Enfields were imported into America and saw service in every major engagement of the war. These were also used in the Crimean War from 1854 to 1856, the Sepoy Mutiny from 1857 to 1858, the New Zealand Land Wars that ended in 1872, and many various other conflicts, especially in colonies in British Imperial possession in the 1850s, 60s and 70s.
