J.P MURRAY COLUMBUS GEORGIA CARBINE.

SN 21. This 24″ carbine SN 21 is pretty much identical to SN 7 which is pictured and described on pgs. 306 & 307 in John Murphy & Howard Madaus text Confederate Rifles and Muskets. Also described is another 24″ carbine made from rifle SN 12. This gun has well marked lockplate with 1864 dated Alabama proofs on bbl and matching SN 21 found on both lock screws and tang screws. Bbl has an internal number 28 stamped over an earlier number. This is a rare Confederate carbine maker marked that probably only 3 examples are known altered to this configuration. Lock markings “J.P. MURRAY/COLUMBUS GA” are discernible as can be seen in photographs. Bbl on left side is marked “ALA 1864 PRO. FCH”. “FCH” was the Confederate inspector Maj. F.C. Humphreys in Columbus, GA. Humphreys was also the officer in command of the Confederate Arsenal at Columbus, GA. PROVENANCE: Greene Museum of Southern History. CONDITION: Gun is very good overall. Metal is overall gray with staining and pitting especially near muzzle. Markings on lock and bbl are discernible as can be seen in photographs. SNs on screw heads are crisp and clear. Gun appears orig throughout though front band appears to be a restoration as its color is different than other brass on gun as is rear swing swivel. Stock has several glued repairs and several small insets but overall appears in the orig configuration. Mechanically gun functions well with a very strong spring and good, discernible rifling that measures 58 Cal. 4-54255 JS228 (12,000-15,000) – Lot 3268
