Very good condition original antique Allen & Thurber .45 caliber sidehammer percussion muzzleloading rifle. Mechanically functions fine and has nice manufacturer markings on the barrel. Metal has nice even plum brown patina. 28 3/8” barrel has original sights. Bore is good, somewhat dark, with strong rifling and a little pitting. Stock has original finish and shows some normal handling marks. Wrist has a small crack behind the receiver. Both sides of buttstock have nice original period tack/nail decoration. Complete with a wooden ramrod. One ramrod thimble is missing. A hard to find Allen & Thurber sidehammer rifle that will make a fine addition to a collection.
