    I found an original civil war Enfield rifle.

    Clark, would you say, from the photos you saw, that my P53's are in "remarkably good condition or otherwise? I understand from you that they likely were not American CW equipment. Why shouldn't I fire them if they are approved by a professional gunsmith for pressure and such? Is it because...

    I found an original civil war Enfield rifle.

    Thank you, Clark. Well, it looks like my sword is manufactured in America for the Civil War, but the Enfield's were P53 guns that saw action somewhere in Europe. Since you say they were unlikely to have come to America for the Civil War, the '57 may have been in action in the Indian Rebellion...

    I found an original civil war Enfield rifle.

    Duly noted. Thank you, Clark. Her Majesty's service...got it. What supports your idea that the guns were not in America during the Civil War? Why doesn't it matter? You sure are full of enthusiasm in your caveat about restoring...why will they lose so much value if they are what they are? Thank you.

Really, they are in good shape. So "Lucky Ducky" to have found them. I'm attaching some photos of the...

    I found an original civil war Enfield rifle.

    PapaR and Dracer... Thank you. Papa, I will be careful when I move forward on that and will send some photo of the loads when I can. Again, will try to accomplish photos of the guns this weekend. Dracer...(and for all) there is a paper on the gold location find (being written into a major...

    I found an original civil war Enfield rifle.

    Clark & Kevin: Thanks for the replies. Will work on some pictures by this weekend (hopefully), Clark. In just a short time, I've become quite fond of this pair of nearly identical rifles. I know they're valuable. I will extract the loads with the help of a professional and see if he/she will be...

    I found an original civil war Enfield rifle.

    If I may jump into this thread. Hello, yesterday I purchased two (almost identical) Enfield's from an unusually attractive antique store in northwestern Indiana. I've done the research and they are dated 1861 Enfield and 1857 Tower (both have crown/VR behind the hammer). Both have a faint stamp...
