STATE OF GEORGIA BLOCKADE RUN ENFIELD RIFLED MUSKET

STATE OF GEORGIA BLOCKADE RUN ENFIELD RIFLED MUSKET SN 3441. Cal. .577.A fine example of Model 1853 Enfield rifled musket bought by the state of GA during the Civil War. We know this gun is GA due to the large, 1″ “G” stamped into right side of stock. This gun is maker marked “Barnett / London” on lock and has correct London visual proofs on bbl. On top of stock comb in front of buttplate, there is an oval cartouche containing the letters ‘CH’ over ‘1’. This is a known Confederate viewing mark and will later be explained in text in current production on Blockade Run arms. There is also a SN stamped in bottom of buttplate, which is the accepted style of Barnett, instead of having SNs engraved. Ramrod is maker marked “Preston”. The accompanying bayonet is maker marked “Dear…” You are bidding on a very fine GA Enfield that is untouched. All markings are crisp and fine. It would be difficult to find a better GA-used Enfield. Mr. Michel’s Notes State: “Pattern 53 Enfield rifled musket with buttstock stamped “G” designating shipment to the state of Georgia. Lockplate marked, forward of hammer, “Barnett / London” and at the tail, the comb of the buttstock just forward of the buttplate tang is marked with an oval cartouche enclosing “CH / 1” with the “CH” indicating acquisition by Caleb Huse as purchasing agent for the Confederate States.” CONDITION: Gun appears in near “attic” condition. It appears all orig with exception of replaced rear sling swivel. Lock, bbl, ramrod, and bands are brown with scattered scrapes and pitting, especially at bbl breech. Bore still exhibits good rifling. Stock is sound with scattered scrapes and scratches. Proofmarks and letter “G” are well struck and quite discernible. Bayonet retains most of its orig blue finish on socket. 4-31309 JS125 (6,000-10,000)
