This old Confederate Fayetteville Rifle is just out of the woods.  It has strong lock markings, barrel markings and a good cartouche.  Both barrel bands bear the proper "U"s and the CSA mark is clearly visible on the buttplate tang.  The iron parts are in a heavy, uncleaned brown patina.  The wood is in its original oil finish with rub and the brasses are all uncleaned nut brown patina.  I don't see a date on top of the barrel.  The gun is crusty enough that if cleaned, one might show up.  There is a quarter inch deep chip of wood missing to the left of the barrel tang and the clean out screw in the bolster is broken off.  The action is good and the swivels are original.  There is moderate pitting around the bolster and some bleaching of the wood behind the nipple.  All in all, it is a pretty sound gun and the bore still has strong rifling.  If somebody wants a decent Fayetteville which might straighten up a little bit, this would be it.  SOLD!!
