- Lot Description
.40 caliber, 33" octagonal-to-round barrel with hook breech. Blued finish, walnut stock. Left angled flat of breech marked A Francotte / A Liege and with Liege proof marks. Unmarked lock retained by a single bolt. Bolster and hammer of Dutch pattern and style. Long range rear sight of Enfield pattern, graduated to 1,200 yards. Bore rifled with four lands and grooves with a fast twist. Sling swivels, Enfield-style ramrod. An interesting Enfield variant based on the P-1856 rifle, but with a much smaller bore and Dutch styling. Possibly a sample or prototype for Dutch military trials. Devlin / 1865 is lightly scratched into the reverse of the buttstock. While nearly 400 soldiers (north & south) with the last name "Devlin" served during the Civil War, it is unlikely that this rifle is in any way related to that conflict.
Fine overall. Retains most of the original blued finish. Fine bore and mechanics. Some lightly scattered surface oxidation and pinpricking present. Crisp stock with minor bumps and mars. A very interesting Dutch pattern variant of the P-1856 Enfield short rifle.Condition
