"ENFIELD RIFLE. SN 2983. Cal. 577. This unusual rifle is pretty much a standard Model 1856 Enfield rifle with 33" bbl; however, a brass patchbox has been professionally added during the war. We know this is a wartime addition because this patchbox is engraved "Plucked from the enemy". Gun is "JS / anchor" marked. Lock is marked "1861 / Tower" and bbl has appropriate Birmingham proofs. Mr. Michel’s Notes State: “Pattern 56 Enfield Rifle. Lockplate marked forward of hammer “1861 / Tower” and at tail, The Confederate inventory number “2983” is engraved in the tang of the buttplate, and the “JS” / anchor stamp appears on the underside of the buttstock to the rear of the triggerguard plate. A brass patchbox has been added, on which has been somewhat crudely scratch engraved, “Plucked from the Enemy”.” PROVENANCE: Ben Michel collection. CONDITION: Bbl is gray with scattered pitting and staining. Lock is dark with pitting as his hammer and bands. Brass nosecap, trigger guard, and patchbox are all cleaned and smooth. Buttplate has numerous nicks and scratches. Rifling in bore is very good, though pitted. Rear sight is missing. Sling swivels, ramrod, and at least 1 buttplate screw are replaced. 4-31316 JS144 (2,000-4,000)"
