IDENTIFIED CONFEDERATE USED BARNETT CALVARY CARBINE.

IDENTIFIED CONFEDERATE USED BARNETT CALVARY CARBINE. Cal about 60. Small carbine with 21” bbl with square base front sight, missing the rear sight. It is mounted in a 1-pc stock with brass furniture and a captive rammer with sling bar and ring on the left side. The trigger guard tang is period engraved in script “Major J.H. McNeill/Fayetteville N.C.”. The buttstock has the crudely carved initials “ABC” and “W” on the left side, and a light “V” and crude cross on the right side. McNeill enlisted 5/14/1862 as a Captain at Cumberland County, NC and was assigned to “A” Company, 5th NC Company. He was killed 3/31/1865 at Chamberlain Run, VA. He had previously been wounded in 1863 and was promoted to Colonel 1/5/1865. McNeill is mentioned a number of times in the minutes of the “PRESBYTERY OF FAYETTEVILLE AT THE 97TH SESSIONS – OCTOBER 10TH & 11TH , 1861”. It is apparent, from reading these notes, that McNeill was a Presbyterian minister and had been Secretary of the American Bible Society in New York. CONDITION: About good. Iron retains an even dark brown patina with heavy pitting around the nipple area. Stock has a major repair with substantial fill through the wrist, two or three smaller cracks on the forestock and retains most of a refinish. Sling ring, rammer, and nipple are recent replacements. 4-50526 JR153 (2,500-3,500)
