MODEL 1843 HALL BREECH LOADING PERCUSSION CARBINE.

MODEL 1843 HALL BREECH LOADING PERCUSSION CARBINE. SN NSN. Cal 52 smooth bore. 21″ bbl secured by two iron bands. Receiver is marked “US/S. North/Midltn/Conn/1845”. Of the 11,000 guns made between 1844 and 1853, this gun is one of the best surviving. This gun retains much of its original finish and a solid stock with raised grain. These guns were used in both the Mexican War and the Civil War. This gun retains much of its original browning, though fading, on bbl, bands, frame, trigger guard and buttplate. The breech lock mechanism retains about half of its original blue. The sling bar is finished bright, as is the ramrod. The breech block and hammer are smooth and gray with remnants of muted case color and scattered pinprick pitting. The bore is bright and smooth and gun mechanically is fine and operational. Two cartouches are found on either side of stock, though inspector’s initials are faint. Outlines of cartouches are very distinct. You are bidding on a fine example of a popular American carbine that saw extended use by early Union Civil War volunteers. CONDITION: As described above. 4-37980 (8,000-9,000)
