Please note typographical error in catalog: “Linder” is spelled “Lindner”. LINDER CARBINE TYPE 2. Cal. 58. This Civil War era carbine dated 1864 was made by Edward Linder at Amoskeag Manufacturing Company in Manchester, NH. Amoskeag completed their contract for 6,000 guns in April 1864. This gun must be one of the last because it is dated 1864 on the lock. In addition to lock date, forward of hammer is marked “US” with a spread winged eagle “Amoskeag Mfg Co / Manchester NH”. Breech is marked “Edward Linder’s / Patent / March 29, 1859”. Buttplate is surcharged “U.S”. This gun is in fine condition, possibly never to have been shot as bore is crisp and bright. Area around cone shows no powder burns. Original nipple appears new. PROVENANCE: Peter Wainwright Collection. CONDITION: Metal surfaces are bright with scattered staining and scratches. Lockplate has light salt and pepper pitting. Stock is sound with one small crack opposite breech. Stock has scattered nicks, dings and scratches. 4-38211 JS66 (3,000-5,000)
