Description:
Antique CIVIL WAR CAVALRY Carbine by STARR Arms

Breech Loading Percussion Saddle Ring Carbine

Here we present an antique Starr Arms Co. Saddle Ring Percussion Carbine, made circa 1863 in Yonkers, New York. This carbine borrows elements from its contemporaries in some ways, and 20,601 were ordered by the Union during the American Civil War. The style and function certainly reflect the more popular Sharps rifle and carbine, though in government test, the Starr carbine rated higher than the better known Sharps carbines. These carbines were known to have been issued, especially in the Western Theater, to the following units: 1st Arkansas, 5th Kansas, 11th Missouri, and 24th New York.

The top of the barrel and the right side of the lock are marked “STARR ARMS CO. YONKERS NY”. Behind the breech is marked “STARR’S PATENT/SEPT. 14 1858”. The left side of the barrel is marked with the U.S. government inspector initials “H.G.S.”.

The overall condition is very good. The iron parts have a gray patina. The markings are clear. The walnut stock is in good shape for its age and use. There is a small, stable sliver at the toe. The bore is in great shape with sharp rifling. The action is excellent. A really handsome Union Cavalry carbine!

Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.

Barrel is 21 inches.
