CIVIL WAR WARNER CARBINE VARIANT MADE BY GREENE RIFLE WORKS.

CIVIL WAR WARNER CARBINE VARIANT MADE BY GREENE RIFLE WORKS. Cal. 50 Spencer. You are bidding on one of the few Union brass framed carbines. About 2,500 of these guns were made by the Greene Rifle Company and delivered in early 1865. A SN is found inside the breechblock of 1309. It is interesting that the breechblock SN is restamped over another number, obviously done at time of manufacture. Breechblock fits snugly with frame, often this fit is very loose on this model. Typical markings stamped in frame read “Greene Rifle Works / Worcester, Mass / Pat’d 1864”. This maker’s mark is struck weakly at the top and only “Works” is discernible on top line, the rest of markings are clear. There are scattered inspection marks, including a “CDR” stamped on frame and bbl. There is a “M.M” stamped on breechplate, front and back of buttstock and buttplate. Bore on this gun is very good with well defined rifling. Buttstock and forestock are well fit to gun with scattered dings, scratches and scrapes. Mechanically gun is functional and complete. This is a much better than average example of this popular carbine with well patinaed brass frame. CONDITION: As noted above. 4-38943 JS67 (5,000-7,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2009

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.
