CONFEDERATE 1863 DATED FAYETTEVILLE RIFLE.

This is a nice example of the classic CS rifle made at Fayetteville, North Carolina from captured machinery from the US Harper’s Ferry Armory. This model conforms to other early to mid 1863 models with saber bayonet lug attached to 33″ bbl which originally was 58 Cal. Lock markings are crisp and discernible as can be seen in photos. Stock exhibits good red color often seen in Richmond and Fayetteville stocks. Gun is complete as are all brass mounts including the CSA surcharge butt plate. Correct style VP/Eagle head proofs are seen on bbl as correct “U” stamped on each bbl band. Correct oval “JB” cartouche is found opposite the lock stamped vertically. CONDITION: Good to very good overall. Metal overall brown with pitting and staining. Brass is cleaned with a light mustard patina. Both bands have been beaten and flattened on top. Sights are correctly restored as is bayonet lug. Ramrod is replacement. Bore has been reemed to about 62 Cal. and there is no discernible rifling and pitting overall. Several letters on lock appear to have been “freshened”. Stock has about a 2″ x 1″ restored inset between lock and tang. There are several hairline cracks around trigger guard and lock, and numerous small scratches, dents and dings though stock is sound and solid otherwise. 4-54461 JS (7,000-9,000) – Lot 1419
