The pattern 1854 Austrian Lorenz is the second most imported rifle after the Enfield. The confederate government purchased 100,000 and the U.S. purchased 200,000 Austrian weapons. The 1854 are a single shot .69 caliber rifled musket. This particular rifle is a two-band rifle. All the iron is a matching gunmetal gray patina that has been heavily cleaned.

Bore is good and the mechanics are also good.  Bayonet is a 4-sided original bayonet that matches the patina of the musket.
