"MODEL 1817 U.S. CONFEDERATE ALTERATION RIFLE. SN NSN. Cal. 54. Mr. Michel describes this rifle as follows: "Alteration to percussion of Model 1817 rifle made by S. North. Lockplate marked forward of hammer 'US / S. North' and at tail 'MIDDLtn / CONN / 1829'. Other than the alteration to percussion, this rifle has not been modified as has the M1817 rifle reconfigured to two-band with a saber bayonet lug added (see consignment number 4-31302) which has same unique bolster alterations. These alterations are believed to have been made by William B. and Cyrus Fisher of Lynchburg, Virginia." You are bidding on a very rarely offered alteration believed to have been done by Fisher of Lynchburg, Virginia. CONDITION: Bbl is cleaned and re-browned, as is buttplate. Lock and hammer are cleaned. Bands are mismatched, but all of correct type. Ramrod is originally from a Mississippi rifle. Patchbox hinge screws are replaced, as are screws in trigger guard. Bbl and lock are pitted overall. Rear sight is restored as is nipple. Bore exhibits no rifling. Stock is sound and solid with scattered scratches and small dings. A 1-1/2" crack is exhibited in toe. Orig inspector's cartouche is still visible. 4-31303 JS188 (3,000-6,000)"
