Hi all, had a nice day today so took my beater Lorenz out into the sun to get some pics.
the condition is beyond poor but my god the thing oozes character. Looks right off the field at Chickamauga. My favorite part is the replacement 1845 Harper’s Ferry lockplate. The presence of that lock plate is darn near proof positive that this rifle crossed the ocean and saw the elephant. Shockingly the rifle is still mechanically solid.
There’s a few markings on the rifle, if anybody knows what they are or what they mean please share!
