Description:
NSN, .67 Caliber, 14 1/2" smoothbore barrel with an excellent, bright bore. This is a handy little carbine that has been lightly cleaned to bright gray with fairly evenly distributed areas of pinprick pitting both along the unusual smoothbore barrel (which has a bore that is .04" narrower than normal and has a small "FRED. FRUWIRTH" stamp on the breech just ahead of the rear sight) and the other metal components. Further markings are present along the left side breech flat: "G", "LW", and "&". The tubelock components are intact and fully functional with a small Hapsburg double eagle on the rear portion of the lock plate. The beech stock has numerous small handling marks and blemishes under the added varnish finish including a single with-the-grain crack running up from the sideplate. The buttstock opposite the cheek-piece has a large "(crown)/W" stamp and the double sling ring is still attached. The action is exceptionally tight and functions flawlessly. These are sometimes known as Model 1842 carbines in the U.S. and many were imported during the Civil War (converted to percussion) with many of them going to the western command of Gen. John Fremont. This is a rare, unconverted example and an excellent addition to a collection. Antique
