Hello,
I used the search but alas, came up with nothing.
After looking through the rifle display case at a local county museum my brother is director of, i noticed something that caught my eye.
It is what appears to be a 1853 British 3-band enfield rifle musket, but has no markings other than an eagle, like the one found on springfields, on the lockplate.
Ive never seen one like that elsewhere, but mabye its just Ive never noticed it before. I thought that the ones bought/issued to the US were still marked with the Tower of London armory markings on the lockplate?
Thanks in advance for all the help/info.
