Item Details

High Estimate6000
Low Estimate4000
serial #502 (bolt), 577 CF, 39" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The barrel of this lovely rifle retains about 96% original plum-brown finish showing some mild silvering at the muzzle, some scattered light handling marks and faint thinning along its length. The barrel bands retain about 95% original bright blue showing some scattered light flaking to pleasant gray-brown patina and their screw heads show some minor slot wear. The lockplate, hammer and bolt heads likewise retain about 95% vibrant case-hardened colors showing a few small areas of mild oxidation staining and remnants of protective lacquer. The bolt body itself is partially bright showing brown freckling along the turned-down handle and is crisply-marked in small lettering "T. J. MAYALL'S PATENT". There is a small ding at the right edge of the receiver from the hammer being let down when the bolt is retracted but this is unobtrusive. The bolt head screw and rear sight parts retain most of their lovely brilliant fire blue. The breech is stamped with Birmingham black powder proofs and the brass triggerguard, buttplate and nosecap have toned to a mild ocher patina. The smooth walnut stock remains in about very good plus condition showing a little period added finish, a few areas of old light scratches scattered along its length, light dents and a tiny flake and drying crack behind the receiver. There is a single small hole on the left side butt that does not appear to be from insect damage, instead perhaps where a small inventory disc was once affixed. The rifle is equipped with military-style sights, sling swivels, P1853-style ramrod and the action seems to function well mechanically. The action utilizes a conventional lockplate and hammer paired with a rather short low-profile bolt. The separate bolt head contains the firing pin and is linked to an extractor along the bottom of the raceway and the bolt body locks into the receiver via large forward locking lug and by the bolt handle root at the rear; the bolt can only be opened with the hammer at half-cock. Thomas Jefferson Mayall was a rather prolific inventor during the mid 1800's patenting numerous mechanical devices including this system and a number of early breechloading and automatic cannon designs. While this arm seems to be of the correct timeframe and construction for British trials, records indicate it was not part of the testing that would eventually adopt the Snider. This is a very fine example that would make an excellent addition to any advanced antique martial arms collection. (13D9670-412) {ANTIQUE} [David & Lore Squier Collection] (4000/6000)
