VERY RARE EARLY ENGLISH CARBINE.Cal. Full 1″ bore. 25-1/2″ bbl. T orig flintlock is heavily pitted as is the rest of the Iron parts. However, the engraving on the lock is visible through the pitting. Lock is engraved “EL” over a bird head, and the orig dog catch is also engraved with a bird head. Stock appears to be a fruitwood. There is an iron trigger guard, and a period ramrod. PROVENANCE: Ex-Collection of Wm. Keith Neal, Collection of Dr. Douglas Sirkin. CONDITION: Fair. Forestock has a break in the center and a minor sliver is missing. Iron trigger guard also shows pitting, and spiral twist ramrod tubes also show the same affects of moisture. Surface appears to be refinished. Nevertheless, this is a rare survival piece from the 17th century and is still very important, being so intact. 4-49863 SDH18 (2,000-4,000) – Lot 3494 Click here to view provenance
