GWYN & CAMPBELL CIVIL WAR CARBINE.

GWYN & CAMPBELL CIVIL WAR CARBINE. SN 3824. Cal. 52. You are bidding on a very nice Gwyn & Campbell carbine which retains good finish on bbl, lock and frame. Stock is untouched with good cartouches. This is a scarce Civil War carbine with only about 8,000 bought by the U.S. cavalry. Most of these cavalry units fought in the western theater. Finding these guns with this much original finish is difficult. This would make a wonderful addition to any Civil War carbine collection. CONDITION: Bbl retains much of its original blue finish, though much has turned to plum and there is rust and pitting on top flap behind rear sight. Frame, lock and breech retain muted case colors over about half of their surfaces. Bore is very good with deep rifling. Stock exhibits strong cartouches with numerous nicks and gouges. This is possibly an unfired gun that has had poor storage. Lock plate has areas of pitting, especially of the area of “Gwyn & Campbell / Patent 1862 /Hamilton, O”. 4-35542 JS56 (3,000-5,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2008

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
