SCARCE CIVIL WAR Antique JAMES WARNER Breech Loading Saddle Ring Carbine
BRASS FRAME Carbine Made by MASSACHUSETTS ARMS CO.
Here we present an antique Civil War Era James Warner Breech Loading Saddle Ring Carbine made in 1864 in Springfield, Massachusetts. James Warner was a prolific inventor and gun maker who was at one time or another engaged with the following gun makers: Springfield Arms Co., Massachusetts Arms Company, Edwin Wesson, Wesson Stevens & Miller, and Warner & Wesson.
This scarce example of a Warner Carbine is one of only 1,501 of these distinctive brass frame carbines believed to have been designed by Warner and manufactured by the Massachusetts Arms Company in 1864. Initially, they were chambered in James Warner’s own proprietary .50 caliber rimfire cartridge, but at the Union’s request, a second batch was chambered for the Spencer Carbine cartridge which the North was trying to standardize.
The action features a hinged breechblock and manual extractor located on the underside of the forend. The barrel is fitted with a blade front sight and folding single leaf rear sight graduated to 800 yards. The left side of the receiver is marked “JAMES WARNER SPRINGFIELD, MASS / WARNER’S / PATENT”. A saddle ring and stud are fitted on the left side of the receiver.
These carbines saw use by Wisconsin units and others during the last part of the Civil War. After the war, the Warner Carbines were sold as surplus and then Schuyler, Hartley & Graham resold them to France in 1870. This example has no visible European proof marks and likely never left the United States.
The overall condition is very good. The action remains functional. The bore is reflective with strong rifling and some minor spotting. The stock is smooth and solid. This is one of those really hard to get Civil War cavalry carbines!
