Parker Hale 1858 two band Enfield black powder percussion rifle- used in reenactments. Serial #6478, .58 Cal, 24'' barrel with an excellent bore. The barrel and bands retain about 99% original satin blue, the lock retains a similar amount of original case color, hammer is patinaed. The lock is marked ''1858 / ENFIELD'' in center and has ''(crown) / P-H'' at the rear. The top of the barrel is stamped with the Parker-Hale line address. The brass furniture has a mild ochre patina. The walnut stock rates very good and has a satin oil finish. The stock has a few minor dings and other light handling marks and has a crisp circular Parker-Hale cartouche on the right side. Williams sights and a brass ramrod is included. The action appears to function correctly and it appears that the rifle has not been fired very much at all. An excellent example of these modern-made classic percussion military rifles. 40" Long. Comes with sling, a few musket caps in tin and 5 conical rounds. BP
