- Lot Description
.46RF, 30" round barrel, S/N 11158. Blued finish, military walnut stock and fore-end, carbine-style butt. Left side of receiver marked with two two-line stamps: BALL & WILLIAMS /Worcester, Mass. and MERWIN & BRAY AGT'S / NEW YORK. Right side marked in two lines: BALLARD'S PATENT / NOV. 5, 1861. Top of receiver deeply stamped KENTUCKY. Folding military leaf rear sight, blade front sight, open loop lever, three barrel bands, missing sling swivels in toe and on middle barrel band. This rifle is part of a late Civil War contract for 3,000 guns that the State of Kentucky placed in 1864 and 1865. The reverse stock has an 1861 dated silver 3-cent piece set into it, a rather collectible item in its own right.
Good overall. Retains traces of blue on the barrel that has blended with a deeply oxidized plum brown patina, some light pitting and scattered surface roughness. Receiver a mottled and oxidized dull pewter gray patina with some scattered age discoloration and light to moderate pitting. Markings weak on receiver, with the exception of "KENTUCKY". Breech block mismatched, numbered "407" and not "158" as it should be. Good bore, dirty with some pitting and mechanically functional. Stock good with numerous scattered handling bumps, dings and mars.Condition
