CONFEDERATE BLOCKADE RUN ENFIELD RIFLE-MUSKET.

CONFEDERATE BLOCKADE RUN ENFIELD RIFLE-MUSKET. Cal. .577. 39” bbl. This is a very rare blockade run weapon for the state of Georgia. A large stamped “G” in buttstock denotes Georgia. Georgia attributed Enfields are very rare, probably less than 20 “G” guns of all types are known. Most of these guns show a lot of use and abuse, this gun presents as well of any of this type, though it has been refinished and restored overall. SN 1716 is engraved on buttplate tang and on ramrod. Very few serial numbered ramrods survive with their guns. “F” is stamped in wood forward of buttplate tang. “JS” over anchor is stamped rear of trigger guard and stock. The “JS” over anchor is an accepted Confederate marking on certain English weapons. Bbl is marked with three London visual proofs, which are all worn. Lock is marked “PARKER FIELD & SONS LONDON”. Initials “JDE” are carved into buttstock. These initials probably denoted soldier who carried gun. This is a standard Model 1853 rifle-musket with three iron bands, two iron sling swivels, iron ramrod, long-range rear sight, brass nose cap, brass trigger guard, and brass buttplate. Rifling in this gun is still very good. CONDITION: Brass surfaces are clean. Stock clean. Metal surface is cleaned and gray with scattered pitting. Screw to rear sling swivel appears replaced. About ¼” hole in front tang of trigger guard. Lock firm stampings clearly read “PARKER FIELD & SONS” but only “LON” of London. The bbl has almost indiscernible repair just forward of front sight. 4-56080 JS20 (6,000-10,000)
