This beautiful Civil War carbine features a blue round barrel with a post front sight, a folding leaf rear sight, a case color frame, exposed hammer, butt plate, and barrel band. The breech block, lever, upper tang and base are bright blue. Frame has full length bar with ring and there is a rear swivel. The walnut stock has a bold "RHW" cartouche for Robert Whiteley. Visible matching serial numbers. Burnside legend at breech of frame. CONDITION: Excellent. Almost unissued. The stock still shows the raised grain with minor impressions. All the case colors including the butt plate are strong and bright having only darkened on the side plate. Barrel retains nearly all the blue with few age freckles. The fire blue parts are at least 90%. Bore is bright. One of the best around.
