TEXAS CONFEDERATE ALTERATION OF HALL RIFLE. SN NSN. Cal. 64. Mr. Michel describes this alteration as follows: “Alteration to percussion of Model 1819 Hall rifle. Breechblock marked ‘J. Hall / H. Ferry / U.S. / 1832’. This alteration performed by brazing a somewhat crude percussion hammer onto the base of the orig flintlock hammer. No remnant of the bottom jaw or hole remains. Nipple has been screwed into the orig pan which retains the rear fence. This example was recovered in Texas”. You are bidding on a most unusual and possibly unique welded hammer conversion as described above. CONDITION: Iron surfaces are brown with scattered nicks, dings, and pitting. Breech screw and trigger are replaced. Stock has several wood repairs and is missing several pieces, including a 5″ x 3/4″ sliver missing along bbl at rear band. Multi-groove rifling in bbl is worn but discernible. 4-31284 JS151 (2,000-4,000)
