These rifle-muskets were manufactured for the Union during the Civil War and were also famously used by the Fenian Brotherhood during their ineffective raids into Canada. This example was manufactured for New Jersey and has "NJ" on the left barrel flat at the breech and "N.J" on the left stock flat. It otherwise has standard markings and features and is dated "1864" on the barrel and "1863" on the lock.

Excellent, as issued with bright metal surfaces, crisp markings, and minor overall wear. The stock is also excellent aside from a short hairline crack at the tail of the lock with minor storage dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
