NEW HAVEN ARMS ENGRAVED VOLCANIC CARBINE.

SN 68. Cal. 41. Fine Volcanic carbine with 16-1/2″ oct bbl with integral magazine, German silver front sight and rear sight on top of frame. Mounted with an old replacement straight grain, uncheckered American walnut stock with orig crescent brass buttplate with faceted tang. Receiver & side plates are engraved in typical Volcanic style with foliate arabesque patterns on sides. Top of receiver is engraved in foliate patterns with the border around the hammer slot and additional foliate arabesque patterns on top tang & buttplate tang. SN was observed on the left side of lower tang, under the wood along with the assembly number “228″. SN was also found inside the tang of the buttplate. Buttstock is unmarked, however the two buttplate screws also bear the matching SN. Receiver tang screws are orig Volcanic screws however they have had their SNs ground away, possibly indicating that the stock is an old factory replacement. Bottom tang has an old repair with barely visible repaired crack which indicates that the stock was probably broken which prompted the replacement. No further disassembly was effected to check for additional matching numbers. According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms only about 1,000 of these rare carbines were produced in the period 1857-1860 in three bbl lengths. CONDITION: Fine to very fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain strong dark blue in sheltered areas with the balance turning plum with just about all the surfaces showing very little wear. There is a small spot of pitting in left gullet at the frame. Receiver has sharp corners & edges showing very light wear and overall the brass retains a medium to dark mustard patina. Loading sleeve stop screw is a replacement. Stock is sound and retains about all of its custom varnish finish. Mechanics are fine, strong bright bore with scattered pitting. 4-47908 JR121 (25,000-35,000) – Lot 2004
