1863 ENFIELD Pattern 1853 British Rifle-Musket CIVIL WAR Tower .577 Antique Commercial P-1853 Military Musket
Description: 1863 ENFIELD Pattern 1853 British Rifle-Musket CIVIL WAR Tower .577 Antique Commercial P-1853 Military Musket Here we present an antique Tower Pattern 1853 Enfield Rifle-Musket, made circa 1863. The Royal Small Arms Factory was a UK government owned rifle factory in Enfield. The factory produced British military rifles, muskets and swords from 1816 through 1988 when it closed. The Pattern 1853 was Britain’s adopted rifle from 1853 until the Snider system was adopted to transform arms into breech-loaders. In addition to its use around the world with the British military, this was one of the most popular arms for the infantry during the American Civil War. The Enfield 1853 rifle-musket was used by both the North and the South in the American Civil War and was the second most widely used infantry weapon in the war, surpassed only by the Springfield Model 1861 Rifled Musket. The Confederates imported more Enfields during the course of the war than any other small arm, buying from private contractors and gun runners. It has been estimated that over 900,000 P53 Enfields were imported into America and saw service in every major engagement of the war. The overall condition is good. The action is excellent. The bore is in good condition with nice rifling. The stock is solid and has been modestly refinished. The barrel has been slightly shortened at the muzzle. Commercial proofs on the left side of the barrel. “TOWER/1863” and British royal cipher on the lock. 1100 yard rear sight. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 38-3/8 inches. Caliber: .577 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 $1800 #227951 SOLD Antique: Yes |
