"ENFIELD RIFLE. SN 12. Cal. 577. This "attic" condition rifle has seen hard use. It is missing rear sight, 1 lock screw, and stock is broken and repaired. This gun exhibits heavy, red/brown patina on brass nosecap, trigger guard, and buttplate. Buttplate is serial numbered "12" with engraved numbers, as is ramrod. Bbl is dark and brown, deeply pitted, and ground around breech, showing no discernible proofs. Stamped in stock is maker's mark "Bentley & Playfair, Birmingham". Also stamped in bottom of stock next to trigger guard, but not as discernible, is the "JS" / anchor markings. Trigger guard is missing sling swivel. Inside trigger guard is written in white paint "1950", possibly the date this gun was bought or found. Despite missing parts and damage, this is still an attractive gun with an extremely low, 2-digit serial number, and 33" Model 1856 brass-mounted rifles are scarce. Mr. Michel’s Notes State: “Pattern 56 Enfield rifle. Lockplate marked forward of the hammer “1861 / Tower” and at tail. The Confederate inventory number “12” is engraved on the buttplate tang.” PROVENANCE: Ben Michel collection. CONDITION: Bbl is brown/black with pitting, tool marks and grind marks around breech. Lock, band, and ramrod are brown with scattered pitting. Brass has heavy patina. Stock is sound with exception of old break above wrist which has old, glued repair. A piece of wood about 2" x 1/2" is missing from stock opposite lock, along with screw and its escutcheon. About a 2" crack is present in buttstock. Rear sight and rear sling swivel are missing. 4-31315 JS139 (2,000-4,000)"
