Dusty Morningwood Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 SOLD Here is what I have. Possibly unfired, but certainly lightly used. It is a Farmingdale, New York produced SHILOH Copy of the Civil War New Model 1863 3 band rifled musket. Similar in all respects to the Berdan Sharps except that it is .54. Has a 30" blued round barrel, with case-hardened components. Patch box on right side of stock. Bore is excellent/bright. Metal finish is near excellent with a few minor scratches. Barrel stamped with Wolf Head, meaning it was worked on by founder Wolfgang Droege. Walnut stock/forearm are very good with some minor dings/scuffs. Comes with brown leather sling. Also included is a Copy of the Ames PEACE powder flask, bag of ,54 cal. HB wadcutter bullets, Bullet mold for same. And a tin of Navy Arms caps, and cap applicator. Also, factory paperwork for rifle and receipts for original purchase. I would rate it NRA Condition-Excellent. Shiloh no longer makes this model, only the carbine. More photos on request. Pedersoli sells its Model 1859 for $1850 plus shipping, with its awful overdone case colors, and they are sold out. Willing to sell rifle alone for lower price. Just ask. Payment by USPS money order preferred. Asking $2000 SHIPPED for whole shebang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
