Featured in this lot is a Ball and Williams falling block single shot rifle chambered in .44 caliber. The Ballard design was one of the favorite long arms during the Civil War period, though production numbers do not necessarily reflect it. The original designer was Charles H. Ballard; his agents Merwin & Bray oversaw production between several different companies. It was a simple, single shot falling block action and was one of the early guns that would fire a metallic cartridge. This rifle has a 22 3/8" long octagon barrel with a brass blade front sight and grooved back sight. The top of the barrel is marked in faded lettering, reading "BALL & WILLIAMS WORCHESTER". The barrel shows a nickel finish with lines of pitting going down the barrel. The action functions as intended with tight lock up and the back half of the hammer filed down. Serial Number: 753. This firearm qualifies as an Antique and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
