This c. mid-19th century target rifle has a heavy barrel turned round and drilled at the muzzle for use with a false muzzle and starter (included in the case) and has a 2 1/2 inch long breech section marked "H LEMAN" on top, an "H. E. LEMAN/LANCASTER PA" marked back action lock, long scope with no visible markings, adjustable double set triggers, German silver mounts, and a walnut buttstock. It comes in a modern custom fitted wood case with a variety of primarily modern made loading and maintenance tools. Similar target rifles are known to have been used by Union sharpshooters during the American Civil War.

Rating Definition:

Very good as updated to current configuration with dark brown patina on the iron, refinished lockplate, minor oxidation, aged patina on the brass and German silver, and general mild wear. The re-oiled stock is good and has some gaps at the lock mortise and minor dings and scratches. Mechanically fine. The scope is a bit hazy but has a distinct reticle.
