Item Details
Low Estimate1200
High Estimate1800
.44 cal., 33” octagon barrel with a bright excellent bore and false muzzle. The barrel retains most of its original maker plum brown while the faceted Ramsdell-style action frame and is primarily a gunmetal and pewter patina with remnants of light oxidation and a few spots of scattered light pinprick pitting. Unlike most arms of this configuration, this rifle actually features a scant forearm. It is equipped with a pewter nosecap and simple single spur German silver or silver plated triggerguard, showing a repair at its root. There is a simple crescent buttplate and toeplate, both German silver or silver plated brass. The buttstock rates very good to fine with much original varnish, light flaking and handling marks from the years and has a nice pendulum style patchbox on its right side. The forend rates about very good showing a few very minor cracks and with the expected light dings and handling marks from the years. The rifle is sighted with a Beach style combination front sight which is a later replacement during the period of use, a semi-buckhorn v-notch rear and a lollipop style tang sight which has a windage slide, additionally the tang shows two other drilled and tapped holes, perhaps for some manner of telescopic sight base no longer present. The lock seems to function well mechanically and the barrel is retained to the frame by a single vertical pin. What is likely the original ramrod is included as-is the false muzzle. Sellers lists Angell as a “Norman” but research by author HJ Swinney suggests his name was “Nehemiah”, although this seems improbable given genealogical research. Angell was active in the Erieville New York area in the 1860s but is not actually found within the town of Erieville. Included with the false muzzle is a brass starter with replaced plunger which fits just a bit loosely. In any event this is a lovely, if somewhat spartan rifle, with a very interesting action frame.
