All original rifle that is a piece of history! 35 inch barrel with oxidization and some pitting with minimal remaining original blueing but visible in some areas and three barrel bands. Fixed front blade sight and rear adjustable flip up long range sight. The top of the barrel is clearly marked with US and 63, indicating its production in 1863. The receiver has silvering on edges with some scattered oxidization but the address and marking are visible. The stock and forearm have been refinished, which is chipping in some areas and was also on the trigger guard. The forearm is smooth hardwood but does have many mars and a significant chip/crack on the right side. The patina is very dark from age and use but is lightened near the receiver. Hardwood buttstock has scattered mars and hairline crack off the tang and a high gloss finish that also covers the buttplate. Middle barrel band has a sling ring with additional sling ring at the base of the buttstock. This rifle can tell a story by its mars and flaws that attribute to the history and character of this US rifle. Ideal for any history enthusiast or black powder rifle lover!
