Item Details
Low Estimate1000
High Estimate1500
.65 cal., 28 1/2" octagon barrel with a good to near very good bore which shows prominent rifling with oxidation and scattered light pitting its full length. The barrel is primarily a deep pewter patina with some toning to plum, but is mostly smooth with overall light dings or handling marks. The percussion-conversion breech shows some dull remnants of a mottled gray case-hardened patina, it is marked "3.C.153." and for some reason the number "324" is stamped on the right barrel flat ahead of the lock. The rifle is sighted with a German silver front blade and a three leaf rear and the barrel is keyed with two escutcheon-less iron wedges. The "Potsdam" lock is a silvery pewter patina as-is the hammer and pivoting safety arm, the makers marking now only partially legible. The lock has no half-cock rest, the pivoting nipple arm acting as the safety feature, the lock is double-acting and the arm is equipped with double set triggers. There is a heavy nosecap of brass and a single brass ramrod thimble and ramrod tailpipe. The heavy brass triggerguard has slightly dovetailed front and rear extensions and there is a heavy faceted buttplate which is stamped "C/153/II" on its tang with a simple Spartan sideplate. The European walnut stock rates about very good with overall handling marks and dings from field use, also showing a repaired break through the wrist which appears to have been successfully remedied, there is a another crack on the right side of the arm just behind the lock where a small repair wafer has come out, it does flex with pressure. The rifle features bail style swivels and what is likely the original brass-tipped iron ramrod is included; the bayonet lugs have been removed from the muzzle area. A very good example overall.
