.58 caliber. Pinned three-stage octagon to round 30" barrel. SN: NSN. Moderately oxidized metal with iron and brass furniture and a full-length walnut stock. Flint lock altered to percussion with a crude hammer that is vaguely reminiscent in shape to some Lehigh Valley guns. Lock marked in three curved lines at the tail "PARKER/FIELD/1863". Barrel with London commercial proof marks and a "24" gauge mark to indicate .58 caliber. Usual trade gun features including the three-screw brass serpent side plate, oversized iron triggerguard, flat brass buttplate, raised carved aprons and corrugated ramrod pipes. Barrel and forend both shortened, probably at least 6" with a small brass cone front sight added near the muzzle. Wrist broken and repaired with a neatly wrapped cord repair. Includes a brass tipped wood ramrod.
