This old Type III Fayetteville is coming out of a family straight out of the woods.  It has not been cleaned or monkeyed with since its period of use.  It is in a true "attic" condition with a smooth brown patination.  Unfortunately, somebody sawed the forearm off during its period of use.  Everything you see in the photograph is original Fayetteville, except the ramrod.  They even saved the front barrel band and bent it around the barrel to stabilize the forward portion of the ramrod.  It still has its original bayonet lug for the brass handled, saber bayonet and the front sight is in place but has modified to suit.  The barrel is still in its original 33 inch length and the bore is dirty and I don't see rifling.  The lock is beautifully marked with the Eagle over CSA, Fayetteville and 1863.  The barrel bears the VP & Eagle Head proofs and the rear sight slot is open.  The butt plate is marked CSA and the wood has its original rub with numerous dents and dings and a notch cut out of the cone, for some inexplicable reason.  The lock works just fine.  The rear band, trigger guard, butt plate, hammer, etc. are all original Type III Fayetteville production.  The gun is definitely worth straightening out and priced reasonably.   SOLD!!
