FOGERTY REPEATING CARBINE. Cal. .50 CF. 20″ rnd bbl, Spencer type sight. Marked “FOGERTY RIFLE Co / BOSTON U.S.A. / PATENTED FEB.21 – 1865.” on top of the action. This late carbine has the cartridge cut off inside the triggerguard and the modified Sharps patchbox loading gate.

The casehardening is brilliant on the right side of the action and on the hammer, slightly faded on the left side and nearly gone from the buttplate. The action is fine.
