"ENFIELD RIFLE. SN 269. Cal. 577. This iron mounted Model 1856 rifle has 33" bbl with correct Birmingham proofs and saber bayonet lug. Lock is marked and dated "Tower / 1861". SN is cut into ramrod and stamped on bottom of buttstock, as is proper in iron mounted guns. In front of SN on buttstock is stamped "Joseph Wilson" and a crisp, clear "JS" / anchor marking is found adjacent. This is a fine and rarely encountered Blockade Run Model 1856 rifle. This gun is all orig and authentic as found. Mr. Michel, in his notes, states, "Confederate import Enfield rifle in superb condition. Stamped on underside of butt '269 / Joseph Wilson / JS / anchor'. The ramrod is also engraved with '269'. Overall the rifle appears almost unfired. The numbers indicate that this rifle was destined to arm the Confederacy, but considering its seemingly unused condition, it was likely seized as it was being run through the blockade and never issued. Ex-Raplh Arnold coll". This is no doubt one of the very finest guns of this pattern, and probably fewer than 10 examples are known. CONDITION: Bbl is gray/bright with scattered areas of pitting. Rifling in bore is very good with pitting. Other metal surfaces are gray with scattered pitting. Stock is very good with very good, crisp markings and scattered scrapes and scratches. 4-31317 JS138 (6,000-9,000)"
