CIVIL WAR Antique E. WHITNEY ENFIELD Pattern Rifle-Musket 10th Rhode Island 1 of 200 Type III Whitney Two-Band Enfields Produced
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique E. WHITNEY ENFIELD Pattern Rifle-Musket 10th Rhode Island 1 of 200 Type III Whitney Two-Band Enfields Produced Here we present an antique Whitney “Good and Serviceable Arms” Enfield Pattern Type III Rifle-Musket made in New Haven, Connecticut, circa 1859 to 1862. Eli Whitney Jr. and his family legacy, Whitneyville Armory, played a large role in providing small arms to the Union during the American Civil War. This musket was part of his “Good and Serviceable Arms” line, which was focused on providing arms to state militias, though he did have contracts with the federal government as well. The Good and Serviceable Arms were made of large lots of parts which he purchased from the federal armories and other contractors to assemble into rifle-muskets good enough for service with the states who, unlike the federal government, had lesser standards and did not use gauges during their inspections. He wasn’t shy about this either. These arms were good enough, better to be sure than many of the muskets being bought and shipped back from Europe, and they were less expensive than had they been built from the ground up with all the gauging that went into federal contracts. This Type III rifle has the saber bayonet lug with a long-range rear sight. Only 200 estimated made in this configuration and known to have been fielded by the 10th Rhode Island Infantry. The overall condition is very good. Bright armory original finish. The action is excellent. The bore is bright and reflective with great rifling. The stock is solid and shows use. The butt plate tang is stamped “68” for a rack number. This one comes with a period brass and wood tampion to plug the muzzle and is probably to thank for how good the bore has been preserved. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 33 inches. Caliber: .58 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $2350 #227813 SOLD Antique: Yes |
