Latest Acquisition

[Private Smith]

My new Enfield, some of you might remember a few months ago I posted pictures of My former LAC. Enfield, It has since been returned, thanks to the help of all you members opinions, for it was all wrong, but now I have what I believe to be a 100% correct typical Tower 1862 dated and marked Enfield. Marked on stock in several places with the maker marks. Now if I could have your opinions again that would be great! Probability of Civil war service, all correct? No replacement parts? Not messed with in any way.

What I can see of the photos it looks like any ACW era arm I would be quite pleased to have standing in the corner with the rest of my ladies.

Below are a pair of (53 Enfields, one a similar Tower marked to yours and an older Windsor... I lust after one but just can't swing the price. Maybe one day.

From The Photos looks like a nice one. Have you had the barrel off to see what the under markings are?

Nice piece

 

[Private Smith]

Have not taken taken the barrel off yet, but I am interested to see what markings are under there, the stock is marked R&W Aston, Then RW or TW on the stock flat, and behind trigger guard and in the ramrod channel too.
