U.S. Model 1861 Percussion Rifle-Musket by Providence Tool Co.
.58 cal, 40'' barrel with an oxidized bore. The metal surfaces have been cleaned bright showing some fine oxidation and pitting, more prominent in the flash area of the nipple bolster, the hammer is darker pale gray with some fine oxidation. The walnut stock remains in near excellent condition showing a light refinishing with rounded edges, the wood shy of the buttplate, light handling marks and left side inspector cartouches. The barrel shows ''V / P / (eagle head)'' inspector's marking next to ''186_'' the last digit lost to the oxidation. The lockplate is properly marked with the ''U. (Federal Eagle) S. / PROVIDENCE TOOL Co / PROVIDENCE RI'' ahead of the hammer and 1864 at the rear. The sling swivels and standard sights and what appears to be an original tulip shaped ramrod is included, the nipple, tang and lock screws are modern replacements. A very good plus Providence Tool contract musket. (5A11700-65) {ANTIQUE} (800/1200)
