"RICHMOND 1863 CARBINE. SN NSN. Cal. 58. Mr. Michel describes this gun as follows: "In 1863, Richmond began production of a 'new rifled carbine.' The bbl is 25" in length with a special front sight having a wide base and pinch sight form. Forestock is held by 2 bands, same as the rear and middle band with sling swivel of a 3-band rifled musket. Nosecap and buttplate are of brass. Sling swivel on a screw base is located behind the trigger guard plate, although a sling swivel continues to also appear on the trigger guard bow. Lockplate is marked forward of the hammer 'CS / Richmond Va' and at the tail is dated '1863'. You are bidding on a fine, solid 1863-dated carbine which is complete and orig. These carbines are generally well used, and this is a beautiful example. CONDITION: Bbl is brown/black with pitting. Rifling is good, though pitted. Bbl retains orig front and rear sights, which are complete. Bands, trigger guard, and sling swivels are brown and pitted. Ramrod is brown and smooth and may be replaced, but it is an orig rod. Brass nosecap and buttplate exhibit good patina with scattered scratches. Stock is sound, exhibiting numerous scratches, scrapes, and nicks. 1" crack is found forward of lock. Wood is repaired around read sling swivel. 4-31249 JS159 (9,000-15,000)"
