BILHARZ AND HALL CONFEDERATE MUZZLE LOADING CARBINE. Cal. .58 SN 57. Two varieties of the BilHarz & Hall Carbine exist; one with a brass nose cap, and one with a pewter nose cap. Earlier guns with lower SNs such as this have brass nose caps. These carbines closely resemble model 1855 Springfield carbines. Bbl on this gun measures 22-1/8” and overall 37-5/8”. Top left side of bbl near the breech is marked, “CSA / P”. Bottom of bbl is stamped ”D 57”. The “7” is distinct. First number is hard to read due to pitting and is possibly a “3”. Bbl ramrod assembly is attached with a swivel. Iron butt-plate and trigger-guard are nearly identical to the model 1855 Springfield. Iron lock-plate is internally marked with a “D 37” and a “D 34”. This gun appears to be all orig and authentic. CONDITION: CSA/P markings are present but partially obscured by pitting. Brass nose cap has nice untouched red copper patina. Metal surfaces are grey/black and pitted overall. Bore is dirty but rifling is visible. 5” crack in stock between front band and trigger-guard.
