Description:
Here we have an honest Joslyn Model 1864 Carbine chambered in .54 caliber. The Joslyn carbine Model 1864 called the Second Model used an innovative breechloading, single-shot, .54 caliber rimfire system invented and was patented by Massachusetts gun designer Benjamin Franklin Joslyn in 1861. His company, the Joslyn Fire Arms Company of Stonington, Connecticut, produced two models for the U. S. government, the Model 1862 and Model 1864. The early Model 1862 used the percussion ignition while the later Model 1864 used the rimfire system. Designed for field use with Federal horse soldiers, the Joslyn was simple to use and employed a rimfire cartridge very much like the Spencer’s .56-.56 cartridge or its own special .54 Joslyn cartridge. Joslyn’s unique loading arrangement consisted of pulling out the breechblock knob, pivoting the breechblock up and to the left and then inserting the round. This particular example has matching "GWS" inspector marks on the barrel (about half buried by the hand guard but visible) and on the stock just above the saddle ring keeper bar. Proper "U.S." stamp is on top of the butt plate. The 21 inch barrel has good rifling and minimal frosting or pitting. It's hard to tell that much of the metalwork is brass due to the heavy tarnishing. The stock has a crack on the right side at the front of the lock plate and another on the same side in front of the barrel band. There is a very small crack centered at the rear of the tang and a chip on the left side at the back of the saddle ring keeper plate. All the metal has aged to a handsome warm patina. This fine carbine would make a great addition to a collection of Civil War Militaria or a strong start to a new collection.
