FINE CONFEDERATE RICHMOND CARBINE.

FINE CONFEDERATE RICHMOND CARBINE. This is among the very finest Richmond carbines we have ever seen. This gun appears all original and complete with excellent markings and raised grain stock. This gun dated 1863 is among the earliest of all Richmond carbines as production did not begin until late 1863 and a vast majority of these guns are dated 1864. This bbl conforms to the typical configuration found, having a 25″ .58 cal bbl with the unique wide pinched front sight only seen on Richmond arms. These guns uniquely used 3 sling swivels, one on front band, one on trigger guard and one in buttstock. This gun exhibits all three. Forestock is held by two bands, which are the same as the rear and middle band of a standard 3-band rifled musket. Nosecap & buttplate are of brass, correctly marked on lock forward of hammer is “C.S. / RICHMOND VA” and at the tail is dated 1863. These guns saw hard use. This gun is the exception showing less use and fine crisp markings with good zone. The rifling is still crisp and sharp. If you want the finest all Confederate and complete Richmond carbine, this may be your only opportunity as few this nice have ever been offered. CONDITION: Metal gray overall with areas of old cleaning, pitting and light vice marks seen on bbl. Markings on lock and bbl are sharp and complete, bbl dates on these guns are rarely observed and these are fine and well struck. All three sling swivels are original and correct as is the ramrod which has a dark color like the rear sight. For some reason, the rear sight and ramrod were not cleaned like the rest of metal surfaces or were replaced but they are correct Richmond products that match condition of rest of gun though they have dark patina as seen in photos. Brass nosecap and buttplate are smooth with mustard patina. Stock is fine with scattered dings, scratches and soiling. A 1″ x 1/2″ cut in bottom of buttstock behind sling swivel does not affect overall esthetics. 4-46100 JS100 (8,000-12,000)
