"RICHMOND ASSEMBLED CARBINE. SN NSN. Cal. 58. This gun was evidently captured by Jacob B. Stauffer of the PA 197th Infantry. His initials and name occur 3 times on this gun. Gun is made of both Richmond and Springfield parts. Similar guns with 1861 Springfield locks are pictured in Murphy & Madaus, along with other references. Gun is in very good, untouched condition, exhibiting good fit and very good condition overall. Mr. Michel, in his notes, states the following: "In addition to the repair and modification of rifled muskets to rifles, Richmond also modified, in the same fashion, a number of rifled muskets to the same configuration as Richmond-made rifled carbines. These rifled muskets had the bbls cut to 25" and typical Richmond carbine and rifle sight installed. In all other respects as well, these carbines were made to conform to the Richmond carbine. Very few of these carbines are known to still exist, of which this is one of the finest examples." CONDITION: Iron surfaces are gray/bright with good markings, brass nosecap is well patinaed. Ramrod appears orig but is cut back about 1". Rifling is very good. 4-31258 JS168 (6,000-8,000)"
