HE HAS BEEN SELLING OFF A LARGE PORTION OF HIS PERSONAL COLLECTION AND THIS RARE PIECE IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. THESE WOULD LOOK WONDERFUL RESTORED, PROTECTED, AND FRAMED TO BE DISPLAYED SOMEWHERE ANYONE CAN ENJOY THEM. I LOVE TO SEE HISTORICAL ITEMS LIKE THIS GO BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM SO THAT MANY PEOPLE CAN ENJOY THIS WONDERFUL PIECE OF HISTORY. The largest piece with the main gun drawings is about 44" wide and 17" tall. The second piece which shows the end of the barrel with the bayonet connection is about 38" wide by 13 1/2" tall. The last piece which contains mainly various small sketches and drawings is about 31" by 17" in size. CONDITION: This is a very interesting piece and because it is 144 years old, it is showing its age. You can see from the photos that there are some old repairs, folds, rips, missing areas, stains, and the like. Personally, i think these just add to the wonderful originality of the piece. It is a great look at the history of the company and the gun. Please ask for any specific photos if you would like more details. I am not going to list every issue with these pieces. You can see it from the photos. I will happily send any more detailed photos you ask for. This would benefit from professional restoration and framing. These would look amazing framed.
