Bought this a few years back in Jacksonville Florida and it’s a nice Enfield but was curious as to whether it was CSA or Union.
The parts are marked as follows:
BARREL
Henry Clive was the barrel maker stamped in the metal
Henry Clive Gun Barrel Works
94 Baggot St. Birmingham England 1838-1869
The other stamps are the typical 25s for the caliber
and two number 102’s by the breech plug and barrel along with the number
434, TH and RWH on the barrel. On the top of the barrel by the breech plug where it lines up with a mark there are the initials T & LC next to the lineup marks SIGHT
Stamped with initials PW&S
STOCK
Stamped with the Birmingham Cartouche
and below the trigger guard is engraved - R. Heath in the mortise
There are two small designs just below the trigger guard that I can’t make out. LOCK
On the outside is the typical Tower 1863 and the crown behind the lock.
Stamped inside the lockplate with RWH, WP,
and just below the top part of the mainspring on
the inside of the lock are the words Tipping & Lawden.
RAMROD SPOON
Has a P stamped on it.
Any information is gratefully received and deeply appreciated.
I have fired this rifle on one range trip and love it!
Thank you in advance for any consideration!
