Description:
FINE, JOSLYN Model 1864...Civil War Carbine...SHOOTABLE BORE (Mostly Mirror).....LAYAWAY? 52 RF. 22" barrel. SN: 10280. Blued barrel, color casehardened lock and hammer, blued iron furniture, walnut stock. Single shot, breechloading cartridge carbine. Lock marked in three horizontal lines JOSLYN FIREARMS Co / STONINGTON, CONN. / 1864. Breechblock and breech tang both numbered 10280. Left of barrel breech with a clear George W Sherman G.W.S. sub-inspection. Two clear Frederick D Livingston FDL script cartouches are present on the flat opposite the lock, above the saddle bar with a small FDL stamped in in the stock comb forward of the buttplate tang. 2nd Model pull release breech latch as is standard on the later production guns, along with iron furniture including a single barrel band secured by a spring. Retains the original 1861 pattern leaf rear sight, iron blade front sight and saddle bar with ring. Roughly 12,500 of these 2nd Model (M1864) carbines were produced with 8,000 being acquired by the US Government, like this one, and the balance being sold commercially. A fine example of one of the interesting secondary carbines of the Civil War period. Much better than average Joslyn carbine with near mirror
bore, strong action and decent stock, with 2 sharp cartouches.. CONDITION: Fine. Retains much of the blued finish with some moderate thinning and fading. The barrel shows some light impact marks on the obverse near the breech. Lock with minute traces of case color with a mottled brownish patina. All markings remain clear crisp. Mechanically functional, near mirror bore is mostly bright with scattered light pitting and strong rifling. Stock crisp with sharp edges, some scattered bumps, dings and mars and some feathery grain to the wood. 2nd firearm ships FREE, with this one..... S/H $55... Thanks...Greg 448-452
