CONFEDERATE RICHMOND CARBINE WITH PATCHBOX

CONFEDERATE RICHMOND CARBINE WITH PATCHBOX. Cal .58, 25″ bbl. Richmond Carbines, though they were not made until late 1863 or ’64 earlier, often have earlier parts gleaned from battlefields or guns in need of repair. This gun exhibits an 1862 dated Richmond lock and utilizes an armory altered 1855 rifle stock with unsurcharged iron buttplate and iron patchbox that is properly fit to this buttplate. Gun appears pretty much “as found” with exception of an added correct rear sight and rear sling swivel and wooden ramrod. This is a scarce variant of a Richmond Carbine that is not often offered. CONDITION: Metal surfaces overall are dark and pitted. Lock markings are excellent as can be seen in pictures. Brass nosecap has rich dark patina. Stock has numerous small dings, dents & scratches and an indiscernible name scratched into buttstock on reverse. 4-45796 JS49 (3,000-5,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2012

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.
