Description
Very Fine Confederate Fayetteville Armory .58 Caliber Percussion Two Band Rifle. Really wonderful condition and completely untouched. All metal smooth and dark, just a touch of salt and peppering in the breech/bolster area. Deep crisp markings including Fayetteville 1864, sharp matching 1864 breech date. And CSA on butt plate tang. Rifling a bit weak but excellent. All brass fitting s also with nice untouched patina. Wood is really exceptional with traces of feathering, sharp edges and nice dark patina, just a few minor dents and scratches with the initials E. K. lightly incised on the side opposite the lock. Interestingly the inspector's mark has been intentionally obliterated, quite possibly when the gun was captured. A very fine Fayetteville for the discerning Civil War or Confederate collector.Auction Info
