Original U.S. Civil War Era 3rd Model P-1853 Enfield Three Band Percussion Export Rifle marked 1861 Tower with Socket Bayonet British Flags on the right hand sideOriginal Item: Only One Available. Offered here is a nice service used example of the 3rd Model Pattern 1853 Enfield Rifle Musket, as produced in England with brass butt plate, trigger guard and nose cap. The three steel barrel bands are held on with screw pressure, as typical of the 3rd model. The screws are not recessed, as they would be on the "Baddeley" type bands used on the later 4th model. The lock is marked 1861 TOWER below the cap bolster,
