The lock is marked "1862/TOWER" at the center with St. Edward's Crown without the "VR" below at the rear indicating this was a commercial arm, not one accepted by the British government. Many British companies exported rifles for use by both the Confederacy and the Union during the American Civil War. Birmingham commercial proof marked breech and two "25" gauge marks. "JOHN WOOD" carved in the lower tang.

Good overall as refinished, with brown patina, pitting visible underneath the finish, freckling, oxidation, and scratches, dents, cracks, and repairs in the stock. Absent sling swivels. Mechanically fine.

Lock marked "TOWER" at the center with St. Edward's Crown above "V.R" at the rear, "BARNETT/GUNMAKERS/LONDON" oval stamp on the right of the buttstock, and "W.R" stamped on the left flat.

Very good overall as refinished, with some light scratches and dents. Mechanically excellent.
