Unfired Parker-Hale Model 1861 Enfield Carbine

Serial #4904, .577 caliber black powder percussion, 24 inch barrel with a  bright, excellent bore.  This is the Model 1861 Enfield 2 band Carbine manufactured by Parker-Hale in Birmingham, England circa 1970's as a faithful reproduction nicely equipped with bayonet lug, sling swivels and ramrod showing the Crown over “P-H” on the lock plate.  The steel ramrod appears correct for this model but is about ½ inch too long and seats proud of the muzzle.  In excellent, like new condition the barrel and bands retain virtually all, 99% plus original blue finish with the lock, trigger, screw heads and hammer having comparable amounts of vibrant case-hardened colors all with some very minor handling marks.  The walnut stock is solid with a very nice Parker-Hale cartouche and scattered storage and handling marks nicely outfitted with brass trigger guard and butt plate along with the protective nipple shield on the chain.  The action functions smoothly holding at half and full cock.  A beautiful example of these very well built rifle-muskets that remains in excellent, unfired condition.  Antique
