The tower lock with the large crown/VR marking is dated "1861". British proofs are present on the left side of the barrel at the breech. The buttplate, trigger guard, forend cap are brass and the two barrel bands are iron. Blade front and three leaf rear sight with a saddle ring bar and ring mounted on the left stock flat. The right side of the buttstock is stamped with an "1861" dated Birmingham cartouche and the underside of the stock is stamped "T. TURNER". Complete with an iron ramrod.

Very good. The musketoon has a mottled gray patina. There is even fine pin point pitting on the breech with some minor flash type pitting. The stock is very fine with some chipping near the barrel bands (left side) and along the ramrod channel, a hairline crack on the left flat, and some minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
