Description:
European CIVIL WAR Dated Antique “A.E.” Marked Saddle Ring CAVALRY Carbine
1864 Dated PERCUSSION .58 Caliber Carbine
Here we present an antique European “A.E.” Marked Saddle Ring Cavalry Carbine, made in 1864 likely in Western Europe. The American Civil War happened during a period of great firearms advancement throughout the world, but particularly in the United States. The primary transition was from muzzle-loaders to breech-loaders, from loose ball and powder to self-contained cartridges. Dozens of different small arms, namely cavalry carbines, were used in the conflict. The war saw obsolete technology fighting next to the cutting edge, and both sides needed it all. Imagine the logistical nightmare of supplying so many different types of ammunition!
When the Civil War began, both sides were desperate for small arms. Arms purchasers and speculators scoured Europe and England for small arms available for purchase. Though this example is marked “A.E.”, it is unknown who the maker is. But, no doubt it was by a maker who saw an opportunity to cash in on the American conflict.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. This example has a semi-bright bore that remains in good shape. Solid stock with an average amount of wear. Clear markings. “1864” dated lock. “FA/EHD” appears to be marked on the left wrist. “A.E.” is present throughout this piece.
