RARE CONFEDERATE FAYETTEVILLE HIGH-HUMP RIFLE

RARE CONFEDERATE FAYETTEVILLE HIGH-HUMP RIFLE. Cal .58, 33″ bbl. This is a rarely encountered early 1862-dated Fayetteville High-Hump Rifle. These guns were made late 1861 through early 1862. This gun appears orig, authentic & complete in every regard. This gun appears in “as found” attic condition. Markings found on lock are correct, including “1862” behind the hammer and a spread-wing eagle over “CSA” and “FAYETTEVILLE”. The bbl has visible “VP” and eagle head proofs but bbl date is indiscernible or was never stamped. Bayonet lug is still present as are orig front & rear sights and ramrod. Brass buttplate is well fit with “CSA” surcharge. You will not find a better High-Hump Fayetteville as this is the best one we have encountered. CONDITION: Metal overall on this gun is dark brown & pitted and uncleaned. Brass bands, trigger guard & buttplate are a pleasing, uncleaned yellow patina. The stock is sound & solid with numerous small scratches, dings & dents. There is a hairline crack in wrist about 2″ long that has a 1/4″ round knot (That would NEVER have passed Union inspection). There is a small “PB” stamped in stock opposite lock that is barely visible. There are three initials “TAC” that probably represented the Confederate who carried this arm. 4-45749 JS45 (15,000-25,000)
