The rifle is missing its internal mechanism components, including the breechblock, hammer, and internal pins. The metal surfaces of the receiver and barrel are covered in a heavy dark patina with widespread surface oxidation and pitting.

Extensive markings on the upper tang include REMINGTONS ILION N.Y. U.S.A. followed by patent dates of PATD MAY 3 1864 MAY 7 JUNE 11 NOV 12 DEC 24 18 DEC 31 1872 SEPT 9 1873 JAN 12 18. A small letter B is stamped on the left side of the barrel near the receiver. The trigger and trigger guard are present. The rifle is missing its rear sight and several major internal parts required for operation. Note – As an antique or black powder firearm, this item does not require a background check.
Condition report:
The firearm is in poor, incomplete condition. The metal surfaces exhibit a significant dark brown patina with widespread heavy oxidation and pitting throughout the barrel and receiver. The bore condition cannot be adequately assessed due to the missing breechblock and oxidation. The wood stock shows heavy handling wear with numerous scratches and impressions, though it remains structurally sound with the exception of a small chip at the upper tang. The rifle is missing the breechblock, hammer, internal pins, and rear sight. The mechanical function cannot be tested as the action is incomplete.
