CIVIL WAR MAYNARD CARBINE CARRIED BY “JOHN T. GREEN” 10TH TENNESSEE UNION CAVALRY.

SN 3754. Rarely do you find carbines where soldiers carved their names as this was frowned upon by regulation; however Private John T. Green prominently carved his name in buttstock as can be seen in photographs and his initials on the opposite side. The 10th Tenn Union Cavalry was one of 5 western regiments(10th & 11th Tenn, 6th, 9th & 11th Indiana Cav) that were issued Maynard carbines in the middle of 1864. The 10th Tenn saw service in northern Alabama and Tennessee. During the first day’s battle at Nashville they lost 70 Officers and men. There is little known about John T. Green other than he was 30 years old when he enlisted as private in Company “K”, 10th Tenn US Cav in February of 1864 and was mustered out with his regiment in September of 1865 at Nashville, TN. PROVENANCE: Greene Museum of Southern History. CONDITION: Very good overall. Frame is cleaned and overall gray/white with staining and pitting. Patent markings and makers marks are crisp and discernible. Bbl is brown/plum overall with traces of blue finish in protected areas. Stock is sound and solid with numerous small dents, scratches and other blemishes with discernible inspector’s cartouches; Mr. Green’s initials and name are easily discerned.
