CONFEDERATE ENFIELD
RIFLED MUSKET P-53

This old gun is one of those that was really "there."  It is rusty with moderate pitting around the breech area and the lock and some pretty heavy pitting on a couple of barrel bands.  It has had about one inch cut off the end of the barrel during the period of use.  It is missing its ramrod, rear sight and rear swivel.  The rear sight was removed during the period of use.  A lot of Confederate Enfields show up that way and I surmise it is because the troops took them off.  It looks like it probably had about 1/4 inch chipped off the toe of the stock, which was rounded back over.  Now that is the bad.  The good is the lock markings are still visible and it is dated 1862.  The blockade number 7417 over A is present on the tang of the butt and the JS & Anchor is still visible on the belly of the stock.  There is also a "G" stamped in the wood, forward of the butt plate tang.  Now I have seen this particular style of G before and I believe it has something to do with the State of Georgia.  The bore in the gun is very dirty but I believe if it were cleaned it would still have some rifling.  A crusty but truly Confederate Enfield Rifle.  SOLD!!
