MODEL 1819 HARPERS FERRY HALL RIFLE DATED 1826. SN NSN. Cal. .52. Bbl is 32-5/8″ long and rifled with 16 grooves. The receiver is marked with the normal four line marking “J.H.HALL/H.FERRY/U.S./1826″ and all metal work appears to be orig except the cleaning rod. PROVENANCE: Michael Gingher Estate Collection. CONDITION: Overall the metal is in very good condition with no finish left and having been lightly cleaned at one time except the receiver which still retains most of the orig case hardened blackened color. Wood has seen use, as all the 1826 rifles do, but other than some normal handling and nicks it is in very good condition. There is the usual 1-1/2″ x 1-1/4” stress fracture behind the receiver but the wood is still tight. Overall a very nice 1826 rifle considering these were the ones issued to the 7th Infantry at Jefferson Barracks during the Blackhawk War in 1832. 4-41869 PS6 (3,000-5,000)
