TRIPLETT & SCOTT CIVIL WAR CARBINE SN 4956. Cal. 50 RF. Scarce Civil War era carbine with 22” rnd bbl, pinch blade front sight and small ladder rear sight. Mounted with straight grain, uncheckered American walnut with rnd forearm & sgl band with straight stock & carbine/musket buttplate. There are tiny “NWB” inspector initials on left side of butt at buttplate. It has unusual sling loops at heel & toe. This is a repeating rifle with magazine tube set at an angle into buttstock. It functions by means of depressing a lever on top left side of frame & rotating bbl to right which activates extractor for unloading. Rotating bbl through about 200 degrees pushes spring loaded magazine cover aside allowing a fresh cartridge to be loaded into chamber. Left side of breech block is marked “KENTUCKY”. There were 2,000 of these short bbl carbines ordered by the State of Kentucky for their home guard to protect supply lines during Sherman’s Atlanta Campaign. They were received too late to see service in the Civil War. CONDITION: Very fine to extremely fine. Bbl retains 93-95% strong orig blue with a small scrape, a few light scratches and a couple of spots of surface rust. Breech block retains about 95% strong orig blue. Receiver, top & bottom tangs, retain most of their orig faded case colors, stronger in sheltered areas. Stock has a couple of cracks on right side of wrist & another back of top tang, otherwise wood is sound with its orig raised grain feathery look & a dark orig oil finish. Mechanics are fine, brilliant shiny bore. 4-32921 JR515 (3,500-5,500)
