Has a few scratches on stock, but appears unfired. The bright finished 40" barrel has a bright shiny bore. All Italian proofs have been removed and correct proofs added to breech. A SN and C.S.W. on underside of barrel. Zimmerman added a cartouche with his initials. LOP is 13.5". Rifle weighs about 9.9 lbs. Highly sought after work.

Sure is purdy..... Looking at the rifling, looks really shallow. Is that common on the 1861's? I have a 70's sears zouave that am restoring and was able to get a barrel that allegedly fits the Springfield 1861's, but the rifling was much more pronounced

Shallow, wide rifling was the norm. I think the modern Zouaves were rifled more like a roundball gun.
