2ND MODEL VIRGINIA MANUFACTORY RIFLE.

SN NSN. Cal. 50. This 2nd model Virginia Manufactory rifle was made in 1817 and so marked. There were about 1700 of this gun made between 1812-1821, but few survive today. This gun conforms to other guns of this model rifled with 7 grooves. 39″ bbl keyed to stock. Lock is marked under the pan “VIRGINIA” and behind the cock in two vertical arcs “RICHMOND 1817″. Typical brass furniture and patch box with release under butt. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Douglas Sirkin. CONDITION: Very Good. Overall, stock is sound and solid with old refinish and two small insets of wood about 1/2″ x 1/4″ each at tail of lock and on top of lock at breech, none of which detract from overall appearance of gun. Bbl retains most of its re-browned finish with pitting at breech. Lock is gray with extremely good markings, much better than average, as can be seen in photos. Hammer, pan and frizzen are all restorations but executed in the correct style. Brass hardware, which includes buttplate, floorplate, patch box, trigger guard, escutcheon, thimbles, and nosecap, all have yellow patina. Bore exhibits well-defined deep rifling with pitting. 4-49943 JS162 (6,000-10,000) – Lot 2541
