This is a great looking original Civil War .58 caliber military rifle by the famous firm known as the Savage Firearms Company. Yes it's the same Savage company that during the 20th century was so well known for their shotguns and rifles. The lockplate has the Savage Firearms Company mark as well as the Middletown Connecticut production location and the very clear 1863 production date. The action works crisply on all positions. The barrel is full-length and has the inspector's marking at the breech of "NW" which are the initials of the inspector, Nathaniel Whiting, who approved the gun for military service. You can still clearly see the matching and correct 1863 production date on the breech of the barrel. Inside of the barrel it retains the excellent original rifling, which is so often shot out from use. It has the front sight present as is the original rear sight. The rear sight has both of the leaves remaining. The stock is nice with a darker tone and a fine grain to the walnut with a fine grain to the wood. On the flat of the stock, opposite of the lockplate, it has the script style "NW" inspector cartouche that is matching and correct with the barrel. They were both inspected by Nathaniel Whiting. Both of the sling swivels are present and they still pivot. In the ramrod channel under the barrel is a fine full length original ramrod. This is a nice looking .58 Savage military rifle. There were only 25,520 of these made during the war which is a small contracts for military guns compared to the ones at the larger arsenals and armories. This is a fine looking gun all the way around.
