British Pattern 1853 Enfield Rifle with Possible Confederate Connections. Original .577 caliber 59” round barrel is now approximately .59 caliber smoothbore with a fair bore. Barrel has a smooth bright finish overall with pits polished out in the breech area. Barrel has the usual Birmingham proofs with the two “25” which denote .577 caliber. The lock has a crown to the rear and 1861 / Tower to the front. The hammer has light pitting on the off-side and the lock and bands are smooth. Stock is very good with no chips or cracks. Action functions correctly. Rifle looks to have spurious "CSA" markings on trigger guard and butt plate
