Manufactured in 1863 as a percussion rifle-musket and converted c. 1869 to a centerfire breech loader. "1863" dated "BRIDESBURG" marked lock. Many of these were used in the Fenian Raids in their attempted raids of Canada.

Very good as refinished, with much of the finish, a few softened markings, and scattered freckling/flaking. Stock is also very good as sanded and re-oiled, with a few light dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent.

3,007 were assembled in January to June of 1865 utilizing breech units supplied by the Joslyn Firearms Co.

Very good, with traces of original finish visible in protected areas, scattered freckling and some light pitting. Stock is also very good as sanded and re-oiled, with scattered light dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
