Revised: 9/17/2008

Correction. The correct serial number is 122.

VERY RARE COLT MODEL 1839 PATERSON CARBINE. SN 722. Cal. 525 Smoothbore. Rare carbine with only approx. 950 produced in the period 1838-1841. This is the standard model with 24-1/4″ multi-faceted to rnd bbl with pin front sight and a tiny fixed rear sight. Right side of bbl lug has the attachment holes & bracket for the rammer which is missing and has been for many years. Right side of lug also is marked with the standard Paterson marking. It has 6-shot 2-1/2″ cylinder with rnd shoulder and line decorations around circumference. Mounted with uncheckered walnut with straight stock, serpentine shaped trigger guard with a long curved finger rest and a smooth crescent buttplate with stepped tang. CONDITION: Fair. No orig finish remains with the metal being overall a very dark undisturbed patina with heavy pitting around the cylinder end of the bbl lug. Cylinder is also a smooth even patina with no scene remaining and no serial number visible. Partial serial number was observed on rear face of bbl lug and a complete serial number on the buttplate. No further disassembly was affected to check for other numbered parts. Wedge is a replacement bearing serial number “150” and is loose & sloppy in the slot but it is an orig Paterson carbine wedge. Mechanics are a little sloppy but functional, good bore with some shine & scattered pitting. 4-35436 (22,500-27,500)
