Maynard First Model Rifle, .50 cal. and shot single shot. Serial #11913. Antique. Very good condition. Unique two-barrel set with a 26" .50 cal. barrel numbered to the frame, the 26" shot barrel has an excellent bore, but only the incomplete serial "1 9" on the underside of the barrel.

Bluing on each round/octagon barrel is excellent and 90% with some freckle marks as expected. Nice mechanisms on the barrel assemblies. Hinge screw is blurred. Flip-up tang sight. Wood is very good with original varnish. Steel butt. Frame does not have any case-color left, but has a pleasing muted finish with some freckling. Readable 1859 patent date, maker's name and address on left side of frame. Civil War era piece that doubled as a military rifle and a game-getter as well! A rare set! Antique.
