U.S. Harpers Ferry Model 1841 Percussion 'Mississippi Rifle' with Long Range Sights, Saber Bayonet Stud, and Bayonet

The Harpers Ferry Armory manufactured 25,296 Model 1841 rifles between 1846 and 1855. This example is a mid-1850s and has seven-groove .54 caliber rifling, blade front sight, bayonet stud for mounting a saber bayonet, and the long range rear sight graduated from 1 to 5 on the base and 6 to 9 on the ladder. Standard markings, lock plate and barrel tang dated "1850". Collection marking in white under varnish on the bottom of the trigger guard. Includes an unmarked M1855 pattern saber bayonet with leather sheath and an ordnance stamped reproduction leather sling.

ConditionVery good, showing traces of the blended, refinished brown finish on the barrel and attractive aged patina on the fine original brass with some spotting and the balance a smooth brown or grey patina. The lightly sanded and reoiled wood is also very good and has some scattered minor handling marks, a few minor chips and hairline cracks, and visible cartouches. Mechanically excellent. The bayonet is very good showing mostly bright blade and age darkened patina on the brass with the balance a grey patina.
