CIVIL WAR SECOND MODEL MAYNARD CARBINE. SN 16093. 50 cal. This standard second model also known as the model-1863 Maynard Carbine had production of just over 20,000 arms between 1863 – 1865 and this example retains most of its orig finish & has probably never been fired. This gun conforms to other known models with 20″ oct to rnd bbl, pinched front sight & 3-leaf adjustable rear sight. Left side of frame has sling bar & carbine ring. Stock is straight-grain Walnut with 2 crisp inspector cartouches which read “JM” & “AJN”. Inspector’s initial “S” also appears on the left side of bbl flat at breech & again with sub-inspector letter “N” on other parts of gun. This is a very fine example of this popular Civil War gun that retains most of its orig finish. CONDITION: This gun is excellent overall. Bbl retains 98% orig bright blue finish with crisp mirror-like bore. Frame retains much of its orig bright case color with balance a silver/gray & areas of pitting. Lever retains 30 – 40% case color & hammer & trigger retain most of their bright blue color. Butt plate retains 20 – 30% bright finish with balance plum with areas of rust & pitting. Stock is sound & solid with raised grain with numerous small storage dents, dings & scratches with crisp, like-new inspectors’ cartouches. Stock however is poorly fit & there is a gap btwn frame & wood, so stock may be an orig replacement. Gun was not disassembled to check for matching number on buttstock. 4-48221 JS59 (3,000-5,000)
