1853 3 band Tower Enfield (reproduction or Original?)

[DesG]

A friend of mine collects s58 Enfields and has eight in rifled and smooth bore, including two of the sergeant issue with the shorter barrels. I have one of his Indian issued tower Enfields on my sgc as a shooter so I’ll takes some pics of the proof marks tomorrow for you to compare.

What a pity he doesn't shoot them. They are great fun, smelly and noisy. What more could a Victorian era BP shooter desire?

In his case a sgc. He’s on happy pills.
