DAVIS & BOZEMAN CARBINE.

DAVIS & BOZEMAN CARBINE. Cal. 58. SN 67 (SN found inside lock). There are two types of Davis & Bozeman Carbines. One has standard carbine features. The other type made from rejected rifle bbls, but otherwise has standard carbine characteristics. This gun was made from a rejected rifle bbl, and is almost identical to another Davis & Bozeman Carbine SN 268 pictured in John Murphy’s definitive reference, Confederate Carbines and Musketoons. Bbl is 24-1/16”. Gun is 39-3/4” long overall. Bbl is rifled with three lands and grooves. Left side of the bbl near the breech is stamped, “ALA 1864”. Bbl exhibits fixed slotted front & rear sight. Bottom of bbl & breech tang have Roman numeral “LVIII”, cut into each. A large number “44” is also stamped on bottom of bbl near breech. Bbl is retained by two brass bands, the rear being spring retained; the front is pin retained and retains an iron sling swivel. Lock is marked forward of the hammer “D&B / Ala”. Rear of hammer is marked, “1864”. Trigger-guard is brass 2-pc construction and retains orig iron sling swivel. Brass butt-plate has a small “s” stamped on top. Ramrod is iron with tulip shaped end. This is a very rare gun. No doubt there are fewer than ten Davis & Bozeman Carbines of any configuration. We know of only five examples and at least 3 of these are in museums. This is a fine example of this gun and another example may never be offered again. CONDITION: Stock is solid with numerous old scratches and dings. Middle band exhibits higher copper color than rest of brass mountings but still appears orig to this gun. Bbl and lock are cleaned. The “D” of D & B is partially obscured by light stamp as is “ALA 1864” on Bbl. Bbl is grey/brown. 4-59156 (27,500-37,500)
