Original U.S. Civil War Era New England Under Hammer Turret Breech Percussion Target Rifle with Flame Maple Half Stock - circa 1855 ZULU War After FredericksburgOriginal Item: Only One Available. Just purchased at a recent military auction! This is a very nice U. S.

It features a 23 inch long octagonal barrel with 7 groove
