Lot 107
Lot Description
.60 caliber. 42" pinned three-stage octagonal to round barrel. SN: NSN. Bright finish, brass and iron furniture, Enfield musket style walnut stock with checkered wrist. Enfield-style lock marked "1866/BARNETT" forward of the hammer, with a Hudson's Bay Company "{Tombstone Fox/EB}" at the tail. Two-screw dragon motif serpent side plate, flat brass buttplate, oversized iron triggerguard. Forend shortened to half-stock length with added rib under barrel and two iron pipes to secure a brass tipped wood ramrod. Brass blade front sight. A nice example of a post-Civil War era trade gun that retains the early style multi-stage barrel, side plate, buttplate and large triggerguard combined with Enfield pattern lock, bolster and stock. This style of trade gun would predominate production of these items for the majority of the time they were produced, from the 1860s into the dawn of the 20th century.
