"ENFIELD SADDLE RING CARBINE. SN NSN. Ca. 577. This 1863-dated carbine is in very good, untouched, "attic" condition, being orig and complete. Gun exhibits Birmingham Small Arms trademark stamped in a 3/4" rnd cartouche. Correct Birmingham proofs are stamped in bbl at breech. Lock is marked "1863 / Tower". Stock maker's name is stamped in bottom of buttstock, but is no longer discernible. What are thought to be Confederate inspection or acceptance marks of an anchor over an "S" is stamped on top of buttstock comb, adjacent to buttplate. Faintly scratched on left side of buttstock can be read, "Captured Oct 21 . . . at . . . by . . . ". With a magnifying glass and a little imagination, someone can probably ascertain the rest of this faint but present inscription. Mr. Michel’s Notes State: “Pattern 56 Enfield cavalry carbine. Lockplate marked, forward of hammer, “1863 / Tower” and at rear there is a small “Birmingham Small Arms Trade” stamp in the right side of the buttstock. The left side of the buttstock is a faint and largely illegible capture description.” PROVENANCE: Ben Michel collection. CONDITION: Metal surfaces are gray/brown with scattered pitting. Rifling in bbl is very good, though pitted. Brass trigger guard, nosecap, and buttplate are smooth with scattered nicks and scratches. Stock is sound with good markings and scattered scrapes, gouges, and scratches. Stock still exhibits a portion of its orig varnish. 4-31312 JS143 (2,000-4,000)"
