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.
W0765 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.
Mechanics fully functional , metal exceptionally clean, shows pleasing patina,
long range sight is intact, ramrod is intact with threads but stiff, bore is
clean, rifling is definite, strap hooks intact, wood is good overall, two small
holes in butt, purpose not known, dings and scratches from honest use.
Barrel length 39 inches.
