CIVIL WAR Antique Joslyn 1864 Cavalry Carbine
Scarce Carbine with CRISP CARTOUCHES
Here we present an antique Joslyn Model 1864 Civil War Cavalry Carbine, made circa 1864 in Stonington, Connecticut. Benjamin Franklin Joslyn was the inventor, holding over 25 firearms patents. 8,000 of these carbines were purchased by the Union during the American Civil War, and they all saw service, being heavily allocated to cavalry regiments such as the 4th and 8th Indiana, 19th New York, 13th Tennessee, 9th Pennsylvania, 3rd West Virginia, 2nd Wisconsin, 1st Nebraska, 1st Nevada and 11th Ohio. As a result of his success with the carbine, the federal government ordered 3,000 of his breech-loading actions in order to build the U.S. National armory made breech-loading rifles. These were made for the proprietary cartridge called the 50-60-450 Joslyn Rimfire. This pre-dates the Allin conversion and some of these 3,000 rifles are suspected to have been issued and used just before the end of the American Civil War.
The lock is marked “JOSLYN FIRE ARMS CO/ STONINGTON CONN./1864”. Both cartouches read “FDL” and the same initials are found on the left side of the barrel and just forward of the butt plate.
The overall condition is very good. The metal surfaces bear a smooth gray patina. The markings are clear and legible. The walnut stock is smooth and solid. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The action is excellent. Here is a great example of a Civil War Cavalry Carbine!
