The Indian army prior to the Mutiny was arme with the same 3 band Enfield rifle as the British troops. After the Mutiny of 1857, the Indian troops were armed only with .65 inch smoothbore muskets with a simple V rear sight and a block foresight. This is an original Tower produced 1853 Pattern .577 rifle dated 1857 that was modified after the Mutiny by removing the ladder rear sight and boring the barrel to a smoothbore .65 inch. The gun however retained the original rifles fore sight and brass nose cap. Boring the barrel made the barrel week and prone to bursting as in the Indian pattern 1858 musket and this was rectified with the improved Pattern 1859 Indian musket. This is an example of a 2nd pattern Enfield rifle with the spring and solid barrel bands made at the Tower armouries in 1857 that after the 1857 Mutiny was modified to the 1858 Pattern including the straight ramrod and with exception to the foresight for re issue to Indian troops.

The inside of the lock plate carries tower marks and the underside of the barrel also carries tower marks with the barrel makers initials JT.

1875 - 1912 American Colt USA No.3 Second Model .41 Rim Fire Obsolete Calibre Factory Nickel Plated Brass Frame Single Shot Derringer With Pivot Barrel. Sn 22819 - 22819
A nice original .41 Calibre Rim Fire, Colt No.3 derringer. Production ran from 1875 through until 1912. The No.3 came in several different variations, or models, with changes being made to the shape of the hammer or the size of the grips. We think this pistol is the No.3 2nd model with the slanting hammer, as opposed to the upright hammer of the 1st model, or larger grips of the No.3 3rd model. Our example has a factory nickel plated brass frame with a sheathed trigger. Its 2 ½” blackened steel barrel correctly pivots to the right for loading (the hammer must be at half cock to pivot the barrel). The pistol is 5” overall length. The barrel has a brass blade fore sight. Its rifled bore has just light staining & residue consistent with age and use. The top of the barrel is signed by the manufacturer ‘Colt’. It has its original undamaged American walnut grips which are in excellent condition and secured with a single recessed screw bolt. The serial numbers are often stamped beneath the grips, and are not visible unless the grips are removed (we have not removed the grips). Its loading and firing actions work crisply. The frame is stamped with calibre detail ‘41 Cal’. The price includes UK delivery. NB as an obsolete calibre rim fire derringer no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as a part of a collection or display. Sn 22819 (drawers office)
