Original U.S. Civil War Era 1861 P-1853 Enfield Three Band Percussion Export Rifle dated 1861 Category_Spade Grip Assembly Research reveals that serial numberOriginal Item: One of a Kind. This just came out of the attic after a hundred years of storage, together with a couple of hundred other guns. Here we have what started life as a classic P 1853 Percussion Rifle with brass butt plate, trigger guard and nose cap. The back sight is also now absent. The three barrel bands of steel are NOT present, having been replaced by pins, but three brass ramrod pipes under the barrel carry the correct style ram rod.
