Scarce Greene Civil War .53 caliber percussion rifle. It is the first U.S. bolt-action rifle manufactured during the Civil War, serial #3605. In very fine original condition overall. The barrel patina is smooth, dark with age brown mixing original fading blue, mint bore. The ring underhammer has mottled case colors now mottled mixing with grey. Very nice full length walnut stock with some handling marks. Tang stamped clearly "GREENE’S PATENT / NOV. 17, 1857”. Mechanics are tight. All barrel bands stamped "U". Original swivels, sights and ramrod. A nice example of the uncommon Civil War longarm.
