This lot features a 19th Century faintly marked Springfield percussion black powder musket rifle which was adorned by the Lakota Sioux. The rifle is from the ex-Jim Bastian collection of Kansas City, and it was acquired from a dealer at the Tulsa, Oklahoma gun show several years back. There are two wraps of thick dark rawhide parfleche hide leather which were later elaborately decorated with brass and metal tacks in circles, bands and cross symbols. The large exposed side percussion hammer still pulls back and the hammer releases it. You can very faintly see the 1800’s mark at the back of the side receiver and very faintly see the markings on the center of the plate just in front of the hammer, consistent with early Spingfield rifles. There are some minor cracks in the stock near the trigger, likely from the firing impact over long periods of time. Nice, honest condition Indian Wars era trade rifle in Springfield form with some original and later added tacking. Most of the tacks appear to be later added brass covered metal round shank trade tacks. Said to be circa 1860-1880. Measures overall 47 ½ inches in length.*
