RARE 4TH MODEL BURNSIDE CIVIL WAR CARBINE.

SN 7407. This Burnside model made in 1863 and early 1864 is rarely found thought 7,000 were thought to have been made. This model closely resembles the 3rd model with exception of the hinged breech block which would be improved in 1864 into the standard 5th model which is most often encountered. This gun has proper lock markings “BURNSIDE RIFLE CO/PROVIDENCE RI”. Bbl is marked “CAST STEEL 1862” and breech block is marked “BURNSIDE’S PATENT/MARCH 25, 1856”. These early Burnsides saw very hard use and are quite scarce especially in honest “as found” complete condition such as this example once on display in the Greene Museum. PROVENANCE: Greene Museum of Southern History. CONDITION: Very good to good overall. Appears all matching though not disassembled to check for internal numbers. Metal overall is brown/gray with scattered areas of staining and pitting. Stocks are sound and solid with numerous dents, scratches and other blemishes. Still showing the vertical “scraping” wear from saddle use. Mechanically gun functions well with well discerned rifling in bore. 4-54253 JS305 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 3226
