Good morning Ladies & Gents! New member here. This past weekend a client/friend of mine gave me 2 items he purchased many years ago, an 1860 Enfield 2 Band Rifle & an 1860 Union Light Calvary Sword. I have spent the last 4 evenings researching both items and would sure appreciate some help regarding the Enfield. I have seen many Tower Stamps from 1861-1864, however have yet to find any Rifles similar to the Tower 1860 24 24 that I have been gifted. Rather than bore you with words, I have noticed that Photos seem to be the best avenue in seeking your input. I do not know if this Rifle has been pieced together from different Rifles, or if it is in fact genuine. Overall it appears to be in good shape with the only item missing that I can tell is the Firing Cap nipple. My client does believe he has the Bayonet that goes with it as well, and is actively looking for it.
Any and all input would be appreciated.
