SOLD Armi San Paolo Enfield 1853

[jgraham1]

I have for sale a Armi San Paolo (before they became Euroarms) built Enfield 1853, also known as a P53, with a very early serial number of 14XX. Standard 39-inch barrel in .577 (58 caliber) with an 8-1.25 musket nipple thread. I have installed the correct Enfield sling swivels and the snap cap for the era. Both can be removed easily and I have the original sling swivels included in a bag with two new Treso Ampco nipples and the correct square end lock escutcheons that you can install at your pleasure. I also have a brand-new Civil War style leather sling, natural color, with the hook, still in the package. In reviewing the internet, it is my understanding that these rifles by Armi San Paolo are very well built and considered some of the best ever made. I bought this with the intention of having it defarbed, but my interests have turned in another direction. The musket is in excellent shape. Price with shipping is $675.

Please, no trades and I accept personal checks or MO, but no PayPal. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks.

Does this have the 1:48 twist barrel?

I believe it has the 1:48 twist. I read that early models had that barrel twist and the serial number is 1XXX, so it is early.
