Evening later night ACers,
Some new news and some old news.
1. m1854 Austrian Lorenz
An attractive .54 Austrian Lorenz rifle musket with an original excellent to minty bayonet that companions well with the piece. These characteristics make it the epitome of a Confederate Army of Tennessee Lorenz (or even Federal). .54 caliber, high block sight, and cheek rest with a very good bore. The stock is free of cracks and very sturdy. The only downfall is a reproduction ramrod from Lodgewood that would best be cut down about 1/2" and rethreaded (which I've had done two or three times now) and it has undergone an old cleaning at some point (remnant of the Austrian eagle, but no years). The bottom barrel band was turned around at some point, as a cut was placed so that it could be seated better. It was well done, and I would argue as a wartime modification by someone who did not prefer a wobbly rear band to through off their accuracy. Lorenzes have become much more desirable in the past few years as they have finally earned their right to sit alongside Enfields and Springfields as one of the most popular rifles of the War. This rifle would serve well for skirmishing, reenacting, or even rounding out a collection of the most popular CW rifles/muskets.
$1700 delivered CONUS (or $1650 delivered to Wauhatchie)
2. Price drop Smith Carbine Combination Tool - Very good shape, no chips. Will fill the void of your living history cavalry impression -or in your collection. These are not normally for sale, and difficult to come by. This is the 1/4" cone opening (evidently the Maynard is 1/64" smaller) $135 shipped
2. Price drop m1855 Musket Combination Tool (Springfield made) Worn but present finish. Blades move well, but are not stuck like finer condition ones are. Would be good for a collection or living history. $45 shipped
