TRIPLETT & SCOTT CIVIL WAR CARBINE. Cal. 50 RF. SN 746. Usual configuration with 30″ rnd bbl, pinched blade front sight & carbine ladder rear sight. Left side of receiver marked “KENTUCKY” which indicates that it was made for the Kentucky Home Guard in a contract of only 3,000 pcs. Wood is straight grain walnut with rounded forearm, sgl band & straight grip with carbine buttplate. It has the unusual feature of sling swivels on top & bottom. This is a 7-shot repeater that operates from a magazine tube located in the left side of the stock & is operated by depressing a release button by the hammer & rotating the bbl to the right which ejects the fired casing and continues on to reload a new cartridge from the magazine. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl retains about 95% blue turning plum. Receiver retains 25-30% case colors with the balance turning silver. Stock has a crack over the magazine tube area, otherwise the wood is sound and retains most of its orig finish with light handling & storage marks.
