Weapons of the Civil War
All weapons listed on this webpage are strictly manufactured before 1898, and are considered unsafe for actual use. These are antique collectible weapons of the Civil War (most are pre 1865, unless I state otherwise) and actual firing of these weapons is not recommended for any purpose whatsoever! Because these are all "pre 1898" weapons, no licenses are required for ownership, but common sense and good judgment are real good things to have.
W0702 English Enfield percussion musket, Tower 1863, .58 cal
The English made Enfields were used by both sides during the Civil
War. Lock is marked with a crown behind the hammer, and "1863 / TOWER"
in front, very desirable date. Barrel is marked " * 25 * 25 * " all
marks are very crisp. Three bands Brass buttplate is not marked, which means it
did not serve English garrisons. Birmingham cartouche on flat area of buttstock,
Mechanics fully functional , metal shows pleasing patina, long range sight is
original, ramrod is missing rifling is present, bore is dirty, strap hooks
intact, wood is good overall, dings and scratches from honest use, stock has
been repaired around the lock, representative example.
