Description:

Approximately 1,000 of these two shot rifle-muskets were manufactured by J.P. Lindsay of New York in 1863-1864. They are known to have been tested by or issued to the 5th, 16th, and 23rd Michigan and 9th New Hampshire. The 9th tested "the new double-shooting rifles" on November 8th, 1864 and found that they "...showed off their demerits to good advantage, flashed, fizzled, and failed famously; enough to secure their condemnation and a speedy exchange to the Springfield rifle." However, it appears the 16th Michigan carried the rifles for at least a short time during the Petersburg campaign. Two circled script "ADK" (Andrew D. King) inspection cartouches marked on the left stock flat. Includes a wood tampion.

Rating Definition:

Fine, lightly polished metal, with some scattered very light pitting, moderate pitting at the muzzle, and sharp markings in the metal. Retains 50% original blue finish on the rear sight with brown patina on the balance. Stock is also fine as professionally sanded and re-oiled with defined recut edges, repaired and spliced sections in the left of the ramrod channel and at the left of the barrel channel, and defined cartouches. Mechanically excellent.
