Description:
c1865 Antique CIVIL WAR Cavalry STARR CARTRIDGE Carbine Union
1 of Only 5,002 Delivered to Union Prior to End of War 1865
Here we present an antique Starr Arms Co. Saddle Ring Cartridge Carbine, made circa 1865 in Yonkers, New York. Only 5,002 of this later rimfire cartridge variant were ordered by the U.S. government and delivered before the American Civil War’s end in 1865. That order followed up on the success of the earlier percussion variant, of which 20,601 were ordered by the Union during the war. The style and function certainly reflect the more popular Sharps rifle and carbine and utilized a .52 caliber rimfire cartridge.
According to Holt Bodinson, the 12th Pennsylvania Cavalry received many of these new cartridge carbines in the Spring of 1865. Overall, Eben T. Starr’s firearm designs made him quite successful during the Civil War, having provided the 3rd most .44 caliber revolvers and the 5th most carbines for the Union.
There is a clear “JTB” cartouche on the left stock next to the saddle ring, for ordnance inspector Lt. James T. Braden, US Army.
The overall condition is very good. The bore is bright with nice rifling and the action is excellent. Original finish/patina. There is some signs of weathering and lots of use on the stock. Two nice cartouches remain visible.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 21 inches.
Caliber: .52 Rimfire
