1861 Phoenix3-Inch Rifle138LOT 1361861 Dated CivilWar Phoenix IronCompany U.S. 3-InchOrdnance Rifle with Carriage - Thismodel was invented by John Griffen and wasreported to be very accurate under a mile.Many of the roughly 350 3-Inch Ordnance Rifles extant lie within national historic sites/military parks.These were the second most common rifled field artillery pieces during the Civil War, and only one burstin action. This cannon was manufactured by the Phoenix Iron Company of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania,just northwest of Philadelphia and inspected in 1861 by Union inspector Theodore Thaddeus SobieskiLaidley. The company produced most (around 1,000) of the 3-Inch Ordnance Rifles. As this is an earlyexample, it properly does not have the Reeve’s patent marking; only numbers 1-235 do not have thestamp. These early rifles were made using Griffen’s method which used wrought iron rods bundled andthen welded together before drilling out the bore. Reeve’s improvement was stronger and involved rollsof iron. It has “TTSL No 81 PI Co 1861/819 lbs” on the muzzle, “US” on top over the trunnions, “10” and “1[horizontal]/6” on the trunnion straps, 3 inch bore that is65 inches in length, black painted metal, green painted reproduction wood carriage, roughly 56 inch diameter wheels, a small blade front sight, rods, and a tampion.
CONDITION: Very good overall. The iron has aneven coat of black paint and some oxidation inthe bore and rims and general mild wear, andthe wood has even green paint, some minorcracks on the wood, and light wear.Estimate: 37500 - 55000139
