FAYETTEVILLE ALTERATION OF A HALL CARBINE.

FAYETTEVILLE ALTERATION OF A HALL CARBINE. SN NSN. Cal. 52. Mr. Michel, in his notes, describes this carbine as follows: “Alteration to percussion and carbine length of a Model 1819 Hall rifle. Breechblock is marked “J. Hall / H. Ferry / U.S / 1834″, which is typical of Fayetteville alterations. Breechblock has the frizzen removed and the flintlock hammer replaced with a percussion hammer with knurling on the hammer spur. A nipple has been screwed into the area of the former pan. The bbl has been cut to a length of some 22-3/4” and the forestock shortened accordingly. It is held by the orig rear and middle bands, both being pin-fastened with the orig double-strap front band discarded. Trigger guard bow is retained, but the hand grip curving strap of the orig rifle is replaced by a strap following the contour of the stock. Edges of the stock appear to have been thinned and smoothed. This gun is illustrated inConfederate Carbines & Musketoons by John Murphy, p.99, plates 108-109.” CONDITION: Metal surfaces are gray with scattered pitting and staining. Multi-grooved Hall rifling is very good. Stock is sound with a 2″ chip missing at muzzle and a 9″ x 1/2″ sliver missing below frame on left side exposing the mechanism. There is also a 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ repair to top of buttstock just behind frame. 4-31287(5,000-7,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2007

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
