M1857 Spanish Enfield 2 Band Rifle dated 1861

Description:

I am offering a very nice M1857 Spanish Enfield short rifle like the ones imported for the Civil War. These rifles are easy to spot because of their signature clamped on Enfield type rear sight. This rifle was made by Gunsmith Juan Aldasoro of Eibar, Spain. His name appears on the lock plate in big letters along with a smaller mark with his name and the date of 1861. It is also stamped on the right side of the butt along with the date of 1861. The serial number which I believe is 735 appears on the lock plate, barrel bands, trigger bar, stock, butt plate, barrel breech. There are proof marks also stamped on various parts. There is evidence that these rifles were imported for the Civil War. The earlier imports of these Spanish Enfields all had the 1861 date.This one is in great condition. Most metal parts retain their original “bright” finish and are smooth and free of any pitting. The butt plate almost looks blued? The lighted bore displays some scattered roughness but is very shiny with distinct rifling. The stock is free of any missing chunks of wood or cracks but has some usage dings as shown in the pics. Both sling swivels are present and movable. The ramrod is a replacement. The bore is about a .59. The barrel length is 29 ½” and there is no front sight on the barrel. It is possible it has been trimmed back because they are usually 33”. I am assuming that’s the case because of the missing front sight. The action works fine. I had read where there seems to be strong evidence these rifles were imported by the Confederacy and possibly the Union. This particular rifle does not appear to have had a lot of use as is the case of some of the Kentucky CSA used ones. This rifle might have been shortened for easier use on horseback? This one really displays well and I have priced it very low.
