Snider Mark 11 riflle

This is a very decent Snider Mk11* not the best I have sold but a good example nevertheless. Good bore and good walnut stock with no cracks and in good condition with the exception of a small chip next to the butt plate ( could be easily filled) No major pitting and complete with original ramrod. This is not a Khyber pass copy but a British rifle with the appropriate British proofs and a good feature regarding provenance is that the butt plate has regiment stamps namely " 1 IB 8R 894 "
8r could be interpreted as the Kings Regiment or the Punjab regiment both who served in India and the lock plate indicates the rifle was issued to Colonial troops. This rifle has seen honest travel and could be improved on. Lock plate is dated 1862 but the conversion to Snider was made in 1867 as evidences by the proofs and date on the barrel. Brass ware has not been cleaned and is as found. Price includes overnight courier to your door.
