OUTSTANDING MODEL 1855 PERCUSSION PISTOL CARBINE WITH MATCHING SHOULDER STOCK.

SN NSN. Cal. 58 This is the nicest example of this popular martial Civil War pistol-carbine. This gun conforms with rifled 12″ long rnd/oct bbl marked at left breech “V/P” over eagle’s head and dated “1855″ forward of folding three leaf sight on tang. Lock marked on primer door with spread winged eagle and “U.S./SPRINGFIELD” in front of lock and dated “1855″ behind the hammer. Walnut stock has inspector cartouche. Gun appears orig, authentic and excellent overall. Ramrod, brass nose cap, brass bbl band and swing swivels all fine. Butt cap numbered “13″ as is its attached stock. It is always difficult in this model to fine matching lock & bbl dates and matching assembly numbers which this example exhibits. This is possibly the finest example of the popular Civil War era pistol carbine you will ever find. CONDITION: All metal has been lightly cleaned and is bright white/gray overall with small areas of pinprick pitting mostly around muzzle. Adjustable two leaf rear sight has crisp markings retaining traces of thin finish. Brass mountings are all cleaned with a light mustard color. Walnut stock is sound and solid with sharp crisp edges with light edge wear and several storage dings and dents exhibiting a 3/4″ stress crack opposite lock at rear escutcheon screw. Single cartouche is very thinly stamped but shows no wear with two script letters that appear to read “JS”. Impressed line where buttstock fits is present on either side. There is a sighting line cut through bbl band. Accompanying buttstock has similar matching color to brass and wood. Gun functions well including Maynard tape device. Bore exhibits crisp rifling in a bright bore. 4-53577 JS309 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 3314
