Original British P-1853 Tower and V.R. Marked 4th Model Enfield Three Band Rifle - dated 1861 P-1853 Enfield but is unlisted in STOCKEL'sOriginal item: Only one Available. This came to us out a private collection we recently acquired, and did not come out of Nepal. This very nice Fourth Model P 1853 Enfield is marked 1861 Tower on the Lock Plate and also carries the stamping of the CROWN V. R. across its tail, indicating acceptance at the Tower Armory in 1861. The V. R. proof indicates this rifle was made for the British Military, and was not an export or colonial service rifle. In
