.58 cal., 40'' barrel with a moderately oxidized bore showing some good rifling throughout. The barrel has toned to brown and gunmetal with some scattered fine oxidation and pitting, more modest the last two-thirds of the barrel, the barrel bands retain good amounts of original blue toning to brown. The lock has a brighter silvery-gray patina with some light pitting mainly along the top of the hammer and light oxidation along the neck and the triggerguard and buttplate have a smoky gray patina with light pitting, oxidation and carry marks becoming moderate at the heel. The lockplate is marked ''U.S. / L.G.-&Y. / WINDSOR-VT'' in front of the lock and is dated ''1864'' at the rear, there is no visible Federal eagle. There are no markings on the tang or barrel other than an upwards arched ''W.M.LARGE'' on the left octagonal flat. The buttplate is marked with a large ''U.S.'' and all markings remain crisp. The walnut stock remains in very good condition showing a moderate cleaning and refinishing with rounded edges, no cartouches and some light handling marks. There is a spot of added synthetic wood on the left stock flat, remnants of a large, dented bruise on the top right side of the butt and a tiny crack at the right heel, the wood quite shy of the buttplate. The arm is sighted with a proper front and rear sight, what appears to be an original tulip shaped ramrod is in place and the action appears to function mechanically. A good example for above the mantel. (5A11774-2) {ANTIQUE} (700/900)
