Description

This original Enfield is in very good, above average condition made by the famous WC Scott & Son firm in Birmingham.

The lock features an 1861 TOWER stamp with no "VR" cypher under the crown; indicating that musket piece was made for export to North America during the American Civil War. The hammer holds solid on both full and half cock. The action of the lock is crisp and very smooth.

The stock is exceptionally crisp and retains all it's original maker's marks; indicating that it was never refinished or sanded. Among these markings are BSAT acceptance stamps and "setter's up" markings behind the trigger guard, a crisp "SCOTT & SON" roundel can be plainly seen on the on the butt.

The barrel is full length and features a pair of excellent sights in very good condition.

The Birmingham proofmarks at the breech are crisp and legible. The bore is good - mostly shiny with strong rifling and some minor surface rust from storage, which is isolated to the last third of the barrel.

The furniture is all original, including the ram rod.

This is one of the nicer Enfields we've had in the last 6 months - don't wait on this one!
