.45 caliber. 27.75" pinned octagonal barrel. SN: NSN. Browned finish, brass furniture, faux striped hardwood full-length stock. Top flat of barrel marked "TRYON PHILADA" and decorated with asterisk shaped punched decorations. Single screw commercial percussion lock is lightly engraved and marked "N. ASHMORE". Equipped with double set triggers, fixed leaf rear sight and dovetailed German silver Rocky Mountain front sight. Brass furniture includes a plain oval brass patchbox, crescent butt plate, plain toe plate, double spur finger extension triggerguard, nose cap, one corrugated thimble and one smooth brass entry pipe. The gun was almost certainly shortened at least 8" during the period of use and the work was neatly done. This makes the rifle handier, easier to use in brush or on horseback. Includes a brass tipped wood ramrod. A nice example of a Tryon sporting or trade rifle that mostly likely saw western use.
