Whitworth black powder rifle. Read the history of (Sir Joseph Whitworths patent rifling) very interesting! Price includes postage.
The Whitworth rifle was designed by Sir Joseph Whitworth, a prominent British engineer. The hexagonal polygonal rifling meant that the projectile did not have to bite into grooves as was done with conventional rifling.
The Whitworth Rifle was a single-shot muzzle-loaded rifle used in the latter half of the 19th century. Possessing excellent long range accuracy for its time, the Whitworth, when used with a scope, was the world's first sniper rifle, and saw use with Confederate sharpshooters in the American Civil War.
