Original Item: Only One Available. This is just what you would expect to find in the local Frontier Trading Post or Mercantile store during the pre-war days of the 1840's and 1850's. It has a back action lock which never bore any external markings. All brass mounts including Butt Plate and Trigger guard, its original style ramrod all housed in a fine American Walnut half stock.

It functions and was what was found over all those Pioneer fire places to greet bears, birds and possibly hostiles. Lock holds at half cock, firing at full. No markings or proof marks which eliminates having been imported from England or Continental Europe.

In very nice condition and ready to display!

IMA considers all of our antique guns as non-firing, inoperable and/or inert. Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 921(a)(16) defines antique firearms as all guns made prior to 1899. This law exempts antique firearms from any form of gun control or special engineering because they are not legally considered firearms. No FFL, C&R or any license is required to possess, transport, sell or trade Antique guns. All rifles and muskets sold by IMA that were manufactured prior to 1899 are considered Antiques by the US BATF (United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms). Therefore, all of IMA's Antique guns may be shipped to all US States and most nations around the world.

These antique guns are not sold in "live" condition. They are sold as collector's items or as "wall hangers". Any attempt at restoring an antique gun to be operational is strongly discouraged and is done so at the risk of the customer. By purchasing an antique gun from IMA you thereby release IMA, its employees and corporate officers from any and all liability associated with use of our Antique guns.

Pre-1899 Manufacture, no licenses required, allowed to ship to almost any deliverable address across the globe. Please note that for international shipping, these MUST be shipped using UPS WW Services.
