RICHMOND CARBINE RELIC FOUND ON SPOTSYLVANIA COURTHOUSE BATTLEFIELD IN 1950'S. RICHMOND CARBINE NSN 58 Cal. 58. This is a neat dug up relic that most of "RICHMOND, VA" can still be read on lockplate. The bbl bands, brass nosecap and complete lock along with most of stock remain. The ramrod tip is broken; sling swivels are missing, though the studs are still there. Stock has shrunk, missing buttplate. This appears typical of relics found in swampy, wet ground. PROVENANCE: The Confederate and Civil War estate collection of Fred Donaldson. CONDITION: Fair to good as excavated relic. Iron is heavily pitted, but what remains is fairly sound. About 40" overall. 52438-36 JS (1,500-2,000)
