Facebook Twitter Google Digg Reddit StumbleUpon Email

These were used during the American Civil War, mostly by Union troops, but certainly some were captured and found their way into Confederate hands. Metal retains a pleasing patina overall with some light pitting and minor surface rust, having been cleaned a long time ago. Brass mountings have a pleasing color to them. The hammer holds at full cock, strong spring.
Markings are clear. The rear sight on the barrel looks like it was resoldered a long time ago, certainly the correct rear sight. Wood has some dings and handling marks. Bore is dirty with good rifling and some pitting. The ramrod appears to be a reproduction. 34 inch barrel. Long bayonet lug on the right side of the barrel. A very attractive looking item. Made in Liege Belgium by PJ MALHERBE & CO and so marked on the lock. A good solid Civil War import rifle.
