TRIPLETT & SCOTT CIVIL WAR ERA REPEATING CARBINE. Cal. 50 RF. SN 3222. Unusual carbine with scarce 22″ rnd bbl, pinched blade front sight and carbine ladder rear sight without markings. The left side of the receiver is marked “KENTUCKY”. It has uncheckered wood with small round forearm and one bbl band retained with a spring. It has straight stock with carbine buttplate and sling swivels on the top and bottom at the butt. Left side of the butt, at the buttplate, has three tiny inspector initials, which appear to be “Y/WB”. Unusual carbine that functions by depressing a button beside the hammer that releases the bbl, which pivots downward to the right and accesses the 7-rnd magazine which is located in the buttstock. CONDITION: Good. No orig finish remains with the metal being a mottled dark silver/brown patina. Buttstock has the obligatory crack over the magazine tube and a couple of others back of the top tang with some minor chips missing, otherwise is sound and retains most of an old refinish.
