PERCUSSION CONVERSION OF A HALL FLINTLOCK RIFLE. HARPERS FERRY HALL NSN 52 Cal. 52. 32-5/8" rnd bbl. Standard configuration of Model 1819 Harpers Ferry manufactured originally flintlock rifle. Most of these guns were in Southern arsenals at the beginning of the Civil War and most were converted to percussion. There are numerous different conversions and though unknown, this particular example has an old "CS" surcharge on right side of frame. Regardless of who performed conversion, this gun saw limited use and is in extremely fine condition, still retaining raised grain to the stock with a crisp fine multi-groove bore. PROVENANCE: The Confederate and Civil War estate collection of Fred Donaldson. CONDITION: Fine overall. Metal is overall a mottled grey patina with scattered staining and areas of pinprick pitting, markings are crisp. The stock is sound, well fit with minor cosmetic blemishes and still retains areas of raised grain and hand worn patina. Mechanically sound with well defined bore. 52438-39 JS (1,500-2,000)
