FINE REMINGTON ZOUAVE RIFLE MUSKET

FINE REMINGTON ZOUAVE RIFLE MUSKET SN NSN. Cal. 58. One of the most beautiful long arms of the Civil War. The Zouave has a 33” rnd bbl with dovetailed, half round front sight base with blade and a three position musket rear sight graduated to 500 yards. Lockplate has the usual Remington markings and is dated “1863”, which date also appears on top of bbl along with the “VP” and eagle proofs. It has “STEEL” on the left side flat with inspector initials. It is mounted in nicely figured, uncheckered, straight grain American walnut full stock with brass furniture having two bbl bands with sling swivels on top band and trigger guard. Left side flat has two crisp cartouches and two small holes where probably someone had hung it on a wall or in a display as there is a corresponding hole on the left side of forestock below the top band. There is a two pc brass patchbox on the right side of the butt which contains a spare nipple. PROVENANCE: Glenn Marsh Collection CONDITION: Very fine to extremely fine. Bbl retains most of its strong, original blue with a few light pinpoints of fine rust. Lockplate and hammer retain dark case colors. Stock has a crack through the aforementioned hole in the forestock, otherwise the wood is sound with minor handling and storage marks and retains about all of its strong, original finish. Brass has a medium mustard patina. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore. 4-59697 JR531 (4,000-6,000)
