Needham Conversion of a Alfred Jenks & Son "Bridesburg" Model 1861 Rifle-Musket

"1864" dated lock. Originally a Civil War muzzleloading rifle-musket that was one of a reported 5,020 subsequently converted to a breech loader using the Needham side opening system for use with centerfire cartridges. These rifle-muskets were famously used in the Fenian raids on Canada after the Civil War.

ConditionFair overall with a mottled brown patina and pitting, as well as extensive wear and scattered cracks on the stock. Mechanically fine.
