CONFEDERATE KEEN, WALKER “TILTING BREECH” CARBINE.

CONFEDERATE KEEN, WALKER “TILTING BREECH” CARBINE. Cal. 54. NSN but may have internal assembly marks. This gun was not taken apart but appears orig and authentic in every regard including front brass sight & fixed rear iron sight, and lever which are often missing or restored on this model. This scarce Confederate carbine made in Danville, Virginia has always been popular due to its brass frame and unique tilting breech which is similar to the U.S. Maynard or Perry carbine. Depending on the different references, less than 300 of these guns were made and they were delivered to the Confederate army by late 1862, so these carbines saw hard use.
