CONFEDERATE ALTERATION OF A HALL RIFLE.

CONFEDERATE ALTERATION OF A HALL RIFLE. SN NSN. Cal. 64. This is another interesting variation of a Confederate Hall alteration, utilizing the brazing and peening of striker to base of orig flint hammer. Old jaw screw is utilized and top is peened over the new striker. Similar alterations are shown in Murphy & Madaus, but nothing exactly like this. You are bidding on a possibly unique variation of a Confederation Hall alteration. Mr. Michel’s Notes State: “Alteration to percussion of M1819 Hall rifle. Breechblock marked “US / S. North / Midltn / Conn / 1835”. This alteration performed by peening a striker onto the bottom jaw of the original flintlock hammer and a nipple screwed into the former pan. This type of alteration is similar to but not identical to Alterations on other North contract rifles with a “S. Carolina” stamp on the left flat of the frame.” PROVENANCE: Ben Michel collection. CONDITION: Metal surfaces are gray/brown with scattered pitting. Ramrod and rear band are probable replacements. Stock is sound, showing numerous scrapes and scratches. Orig inspector’s cartouche is still visible on left side of stock. 4-31282 JS148 (3,000-5,000)
