CIVIL WAR Antique US RICHARDSON & OVERMAN .50 Cal. Gallager Patent Carbine Early Breach Loader Used in The Civil War & Wild West
Description: CIVIL WAR Antique US RICHARDSON & OVERMAN .50 Cal. Gallager Patent Carbine Early Breach Loader Used in The Civil War & Wild West Here we present an antique Civil War U.S. Richardson & Overman Gallager Patent Percussion Saddle Ring Carbine manufactured in the early 1860s in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This carbine was invented by South Carolina native Mahlon Gallager, who licensed the design to Richardson and Overman of Philadelphia for production. On August 31, 1861, the first Gallager was sold to the U.S. Army. 22,728 Gallager carbines were purchased during the Civil War and saw extensive use as a cavalry arm with the Union troops. Both percussion and metallic cartridge versions of the Gallager carbine were manufactured, but extraction problems with both cartridge types made this rifle somewhat unpopular with the troops that used it. This carbine fired an unprimed .50 caliber cartridge with a brass foil and paper-wrapped case. Ignition was provided by the percussion cap. A major fault of these carbines was the absence of a suitable extractor. The case had to be extracted with a knife or some other sharp tool. When the trigger guard lever is lowered, the barrel slides out from the frame and tips downward to receive the cartridge. This cavalry carbine was known to be used by the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th Ohio, the 13th Tennessee and the 3rd West Virginia cavalries. The overall condition is very good. The action is strong. The bore is bright with nice rifling. “WAH” is hand carved into the left Butt stock. A cartouche on the left wrist is visible, and partially legible. This is a great piece of history from the American Civil War! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 22 ¼ inches. Caliber: .50 Percussion Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $2535 #201327 SOLD Antique: Yes |
