MODEL 1819 HARPERS FERRY HALL RIFLE DATED 1824 ALTERED TO PERCUSSION.

MODEL 1819 HARPERS FERRY HALL RIFLE DATED 1824 ALTERED TO PERCUSSION. SN NSN. 32-5/8″ bbl and rifled with 16 grooves having the normal counter bored muzzle. Receiver is marked in the four line marking of “J.H. /HALL/H. FERRY/1824/US”, that was only used only on the 1824 dated production. The rifle has been altered to percussion by inserting a musket nipple in the flash hole and installing a very well made military hammer similar in looks to the Model 1841 rifle hammers. The bbl is retained by band springs as these 1824 dated rifles all are and the cleaning rod appears to be orig as is the balance of the iron furniture. The Walnut stock is normal in all respects and void of inspector’s marks as the Harpers Ferry Halls are. Behind the trigger guard is a Windmill stamp that is only observed on a few of the early Hall rifles, the meaning of which is not known. PROVENANCE: Michael Gingher Estate Collection. CONDITION: The metal and furniture are in very good condition having an even brown patina with very light pitting in the regions where flash from the percussion cap spattered along the top of the receiver and behind the rear sight. The gun has not been cleaned and shows a slight mushrooming on muzzle end which is not difficult to restore. The middle band is split open on top but is still held together tightly to the bbl. These 1824 dated Hall rifles are quite rare as all are believed to have been issued to the U.S. Navy where some eventually fell into Confederate hands when Norfolk was captured. 4-41865 PS2 (3,000-5,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2011

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
