Description
Confederate Fayetteville Two-band .58 Caliber Percussion Rifle, Dated 1864 on Both Lock and Breech, with the Original Bayonet and Sling. 33" rifled barrel with very good bore. All metal generally smooth with light gray patina. Brass mounts generally bright and clean. All markings deep and crisp including CSA/ Fayetteville/ 1864 with eagle on the lock, V, P, eagle head and date 1864 at breech and CSA on the tang of the brass butt plate. Original two leaf folding rear sight and ramrod. Mechanically perfect. The breech plug tang has been "pinched" and the area around the front lock screw has been slightly peaned, also the face of the vent clean out screw is broken off, all things that can be readily "neatened up" by a competent restorer. The wood is excellent with just a few very minor dents, nice patina, and retains about 50% of the inspector's cartouche. The gun is accompanied by the original, distinctive, Fayetteville angular socket bayonet, and Confederate issued linen sling with leather fittings and iron wire adjusting hook, both excellent. Total production of this model is estimated at 500 with a very high attrition rate. A very nice Fayetteville and especially desirable with the original bayonet and sling.Auction Info
