RICHMOND CARBINE. RICHMOND CARBINE NSN 58 Cal. 58. This is a fairly honest example of a brass mounted Richmond carbine in standard configuration with 25" bbl with 3-leaf rear sight and pinched front sight with correct broken "P" in proof. PROVENANCE: The Confederate and Civil War estate collection of Fred Donaldson. CONDITION: Good to very good. Gun appears orig and complete with exception of replaced front band and sling swivel. The orig ramrod is not a Richmond product but appears orig to time of use, converted from a musket. Lock markings are good as seen in photos. There is some old filing, possibly showing restoration to bbl tang (these commonly broke). Stock is sound with hand worn patina. Crack repair forward of trigger guard and glued putty repair just rear of band at ramrod channel. Mechanically fine with fairly crisp rifled bore. 52438-29 JS (4,000-5,000)
