Standard breech loading single shot Civil War saddle ring carbine. Lock has all the manufacturing and patent legends, serial number 8919. The wood stock has patch box as well as saddle ring and bar. Standard folding leaf rear sight. CONDITION Fair. Gun is working and complete. No finish. The barrel has overall pitting with light rust. Stock is very good and solid with no finish, no visible cartouche and some scattered dents. Wood is very dry. Bore is pretty sharp with only minor abrasions. The lock legends are crisp. Looks like this carbine sat in a barn for over 100 years. Truly, an as found, untouched Civil War relic.
