"ENFIELD RIFLED MUSKET. SN 1859. Cal. 577. This is a deeply patinaed, untouched, attic or barn found Enfield. This was a standard arm of the Confederate Army. Probably more of these guns were used than any other single arm. SN 1859 engraved on buttplate. Stock is also marked with the "JS / anchor" and the letter "S" in front of buttplate SN. Lock is marked and dated "1861 / Tower". 39" bbl has correct Birmingham proofs, but is missing its rear sight. Accompanying gun is a nice, added buff sling and an unsurcharged Enfield bayonet. Mr. Michel’s Notes State: “Pattern 53 Enfield rifled musket. Lockplate marked forward of hammer, “Tower / 1861” and at tail. The tang of the buttplate is engraved with the inventory number “1859” used to keep track of arms shipments to the Confederacy.” PROVENANCE: Ben Michel collection. CONDITION: Iron surfaces are brown/black with pitting, especially at bbl breech. Brass nosecap, trigger guard, and buttplate are deeply patinaed. Stock is solid with scattered dings, scratches, and scrapes. Bore of bbl shows no discernible rifling. Bayonet socket is brown; blade is partially cleaned and is bent. Ramrod is heavily pitted. 4-31311 JS140 (2,000-4,000)"
