FINE JENKS NAVAL CARBINE WITH MAYNARD TAPE PRIMER.

Cal. 54. Unusual side hammer carbine with 24-1/4″ rifled rnd bbl, integral front sight on front brass band with smooth brass middle band, both screwed to forestock. Fitted to lock under hammer is Maynard tape primer mechanism. This scarce variant only occurs on about 1000 guns made by Remington. It has usual “USN” markings with “R.C” inspector initials and the date “1847″ with “W.JENKS” and “CAST-STEEL” on top flat of bbl. Lockplate has usual markings “REMINGTON’S/HERKIMER/N.Y.” Loading port, at breech end of bbl, is oval. Mounted in a 1-pc walnut stock with brass furniture and a staple & ring on bottom tang. There is a single rounded rectangular cartouche on left side of wrist “RP”. This scarce variant of a Jenks carbine rarely comes to market and this is a beautiful example retaining most of its orig finish that would be difficult to upgrade. PROVENANCE: Collection of Charles A. Lamb. CONDITION: Very fine overall. Bbl retains 97/98% orig brown finish though thinning in areas with staining and light pitting. Lockplate & hammer retain silvered case colors and brass is a yellow polished patina. Loading lever on top retains about 90% thin blue finish with staining. Stock is sound and solid with scattered storage dings, dents and scratches with well defined inspector’s cartouche. This entire gun including stock and metal has been covered with a thin layer of old varnish which especially gives wood a “glossy” look. Mechanics are fine, strong bright bore. 4-51883 JS145 (4,500-7,500) – Lot 2314
