CONFEDERATE DICKSON NELSON RIFLE.

CONFEDERATE DICKSON NELSON RIFLE. Cal. 58. Dickson Nelson in Dawson, GA made a majority of their guns for the State of Alabama and are marked “ALA” on locks, as is this gun. This gun is in the typical configuration of other guns of this type with 33″ bbl, brass nosecap, bbl bands, trigger guard, and buttplate. The lockplate is marked forward of hammer “DICKSON/NELSON & CO/CS”,rear of hammer is marked “ALA/1864”. There is a name J.S. Crossy stamped into stock several times possibly denoting the soldier who carried this gun, further research needs to be done. This is a beautiful gun with good patina and good markings that would display nicely. CONDITION: Bbl is brown and pitted overall. There is a small letter “G” and another letter “R” found stamped on bottom of bbl. The “G” has been noted on other Dickson Nelson rifles, and is thought to be an unknown assembler’s mark. Bore is very good with good discernible rifling. Lock is gray/brown with discernible markings. Hammer is brown and pitted matching color ob bbl. Trigger guard, rear bbl band, and buttplate of good mustard-colored patina with scattered small nicks and scratches.
