Unique Joseph Lurch Civil War era air rifle, .26 caliber, Serial #NSNV. The rifle is in fair overall condition with a 21 ¾” octagon barrel marked, “JOS LURCH NY”. The metal surfaces have gone to a blotchy grey patinawith light to moderate surface rust and pinprick pitting on the receiver. The trigger guard, rear portion of the action and butt plate are all brass. The air rifle is driven by a spring piston with the brass pump handle in the comb of the stock. According to the consignor, the rifle is non-functioning at this time and is missing part of the trigger sear assembly. The smooth wood stock is in good condition withmars and bruising. The butt stock has an exaggerated cheek piece and ends with a smooth brass butt plate. This is a truly unique and striking piece that deserves further research. Est.: $500-$1,000.
