A very nice period copy of the Pattern 1853 English Enfield musket, made for a child. Round blued smoothbore steel barrel marked "BELGIUM THE LITTLE ENFIELD" on top, near breech. Bayonet lug front sight mounted near muzzle. Flat casehardened percussion lockplate "L&T" at tail. Blued steel furniture and brass-tipped steel ramrod. Varnished plain walnut stock. Excellent condition, overall, with some minor thinning of blue on barrel and some small flaked spots turned to brown on furniture. Child's muskets are very hard to find.
