Desirable Civil War U.S. Lindsay "Two Shot" Model 1863 Double Percussion Rifle-Musket

Approximately 1,000 of these two shot rifle-muskets were manufactured by J.P. Lindsay of New York between 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.

ConditionFine with mostly bright surfaces, some scattered very light surface freckling, a few small patches of moderate pitting on the rear sight, breech and one on the left hammer, and sharp markings in the metal. 50% original blue finish remains on the moderately pitted rear sight. Stock is very fine with defined edges, some light scattered dings and handling marks, and crisp cartouches. Mechanically excellent.
