Description:
These distinctive turret rifles were manufactured by G.P. Foster of Taunton, Massachusetts, in the 1850s based on Parry W. Porter's patent. Many do not fit neatly within the First, Second, and Third Model variations listed in "Flayderman's Guide" such as this example with a round pivoting magazine cover. Includes the often absent loading lever and turret cover. Provenance: The Charles Marx Collection
Rating Definition:
Very good with some original finish, gray and brown patina, pitting, and general mild wear. Mechanically needs work (hammer does not cock).
