This is certainly something you don't see every day, if at all. This is a great example of the classic P 1853 Percussion Rifle, with brass butt plate, trigger guard and nose cap. This is the long rifle, known as a "Three Band" due to the three steel barrel bands it has. The Lock is simply engraved, marked on the exterior only with a CROWN and DATED 1863. The barrel bears the correct British Proof Markings of the period.
