Featured in this lot we have an Enfield pattern 1853 smoothbored percussion cap rifle-musket chambered in 68 gauge. The rifle displays a 39" long round barrel, lock plate, percussion cap hammer, brass trigger guard, canvas shoulder strap, and walnut stock.

This rifle shows good condition for its age. The brass butt plate is marked across the top reading "WTE 29". This rifle shows good mechanical condition with a tight action and working hammer. The stock of the rifle shows a medallion stamp reading "R M ENFIELD" with a crown insignia at the top. No Serial Number.
