Confederate Richmond Assembled rifle. This 1861 special musket type (Amoskeag lock in case) is typical of Richmond altered and assembled guns. Barrels were shortened from 40” to 33”, front barrel band removed, barrel now has the brass Richmond nose cap and Richmond front sights. This gun is from the renown Ben Michel collection and is pictured in the catalogue. See additional photo text for Mr. Michel’s commentary. Note: In a personal conversation with Mr. Michel he says the catalogue description says Colt 1861 and makes several references to Colt. This is an error as this gun is the correct gun but is by Amoskeag and should have been referred to as such in the catalogue description. The alteration commentary is correct for this gun.
