CONFEDERATE MORSE CARBINE. SN 985. Cal 50. Bbl 20″. You are bidding on a popular brass framed Confederate carbine of which only about 1000 were made. This is one of the last. This model is known as Type 3 which accounts for 2/3 of Morses made with all the breech and latch improvements to make this a more efficient carbine. This gun appears complete and original with exception of replaced ramrod and end of forestock which appears to have been cut in its time of use; as to patina to wood where nosecap would have been, appears well aged and weathered. The serial number “985” is found on frame and on breech latch. Gun is functional though it will not hold on full cock. You are bidding on one of the most beautiful of Confederate longarms and one of the few with a brass frame that is priced moderately in this sale. CONDITION: Brass frame has been cleaned showing numerous scratches, nicks and gouges. Forestock and buttstock have a weathered appearance, however are sound exhibiting numerous scratches, nicks and gouges. The replacement ramrod has been threaded correctly to accept the original cleaning jag in butt. 4-37780 JS5 (8,500-12,500)
