Antique AUSTRIAN Lorenz Model 1854 Rifle Musket

Description:

Antique AUSTRIAN Lorenz Model 1854 Rifle Musket

Made in Liege and Dated 1868

Here we present an antique Austrian Lorenz Model 1854 Percussion Rifle Musket, made circa 1868 in Liege, Belgium. The Lorenz rifle was designed by Austrian lieutenant Joseph Lorenz. It was first approved for manufacture in 1854, and was Austria's first all-new infantry firearm in decades. The demand for the rifles was much greater than what the Austrian state arsenals could produce, so much of the production was done by private manufacturers, including those in Liege, Belgium. It was the third most widely used rifle during the American Civil War. The Union recorded purchases of 226,924 and the Confederacy bought as many as 100,000. Confederate-bought Lorenz rifles saw heavy use in the Army of Tennessee in 1863-64.

The overall condition is good. The iron parts are semi-bright. The markings are clear. The stock is in good shape with a little cracking on the left stock flat, which is stable. The bore is in good shape, dark with good rifling. The action is excellent.
