Vogt | Positive feedback: 100% View | | 17 Completed Sales View Sellers Items Thomas G. Vogt Seller Since: May. 2001 Identity Verified ( south park, PA ) This seller is NOT an FFL City: South Park State: PA SOLD - $2,100.00 Shipping: Calculated on checkout Accepted Payment Methods: Returns: 3 Days Description: Barrel measures 33" long, Bore measures .54 Cal. using my calipers and the rifling is in really nice shape. From the research I found these barrels were browned and this one has some surface rust over that. It looks like this rifle was kept in the attic and not out in the barn. Lock stamped Harpers Ferry, 1853, behind the hammer and and has the eagle in front of it. The barrel tang is stamped 1853. There is a letter s stamped on the right barrel flat just in front of the bolster. The letters W W over P are stamped on the left side of the barrel. I can see some other markings behind those but can't make them out. From the little I was able to learn these were proof marks. They are there but tough to make out. It has the correct brass front sight and rear V notch. It does look like someone, at sometime in its life, dropped the rifle muzzle down. I couldn't post enough pics to show it but the edge of the barrel, just in front of the site is dinged. The letters J L B are stamped on the left of the stock above the trigger and inside the patch box. There is a spare nipple in the box. The ramrod is a steel tulip tip. This rifle was used. There is some checking in the stock behind the lock. It looks like the wood has dried out and the grain lines opened up a little. They really don't look like cracks but it's tough to tell. The are various nicks and dings in the wood but no other splits or cracks that I can see. The lock functions fine. The hammer spring is really strong and there is no play or slop in the trigger. There are still some fine traces of the case color on the lock behind the hammer. The steel has no pitting in it just an overall brown "patina". The brass is tarnished but not beat up. The rear band has a small scratch in it and the butt plate has a few dings in the top edge. ASKING, $2100.00 plus actual Shipping/Ins. I take USPS Money Orders for fastest shipping time. Personal checks will have to clear. I will ship USPS Priority Mail No need for FFL's on this one.
