Scarce P.W. Porter Second Model Percussion Turret Rifle

Approximately 350-400 of these rifles were manufactured in 1850s. This one falls into the correct 300-679 serial number range and has "ADDRESS/P.W. PORTER/NEW=YORK" and "P.W. PORTER'S/PATENT./1851." on the upper left flat, a dovetailed blade front sight offset to the left, coordinating adjustable rear sight, serpentine loading lever, "429" on many of the various components, 9-shot turret, and smooth buttstock with steel buttplate. "GDM" is marked near the toe. Provenance: The George Moller Collection

ConditionVery good with mostly smooth gray and brown patina on the exterior surfaces, some bright fire blue finish on the internal components, minor oxidation/pitting, and generally mild overall wear. The refinished stock is also very good and has some repaired chips in the wrist and toe, a hairline crack at the heel, and mild dings and scratches. Mechanically fine.
