1st ARKANSAS Antique CIVIL WAR STARR ARMS Co Percussion SADDLE RING Carbine DESIREABLE Breech Loading UNION CAVALRY CARBINE
Description: 1st ARKANSAS Antique CIVIL WAR STARR ARMS Co Percussion SADDLE RING Carbine DESIREABLE Breech Loading UNION CAVALRY CARBINE Here we present an antique Starr Arms Co. Breech Loading Percussion Saddle Ring Carbine, made circa 1862-65 in Yonkers, New York with the very desirable 1st Arkansas Union Cavalry marking. The Starr carbine was a breechloading single-shot rifle used by the United States Army. Designed in 1858, the Starr was primarily used by cavalry soldiers in the American Civil War. Though most Starr carbines were issued to Western Theater Federal cavalry units during the American Civil War, they were also known to be in the hands of Confederate Soldiers. The style and function certainly reflect the more popular Sharps rifle and carbine. These carbines were known to have been issued, especially in the Western Theater, to the following units: 1st Arkansas, 5th Kansas, 11th Missouri, and 24th New York. Ten thousand men from Arkansas served in the Union Army. The 1st Arkansas Cavalry was the most famous of them, sometimes call the Mountain Yankees. Just as was the case with neighboring Missouri and Alabama (and, indeed, with all Southern states), the mountain areas were strongest for the Union. In 1862, a group of men from Arkansas showed up to enlist in the 6th Missouri, and it was decided to raise a separate regiment of Cavalry from Arkansas, with the result being the 1st Arkansas Cavalry. This example is clearly marked “1 / A R K / L” for 1st Arkansas Cavalry, Company “L”. The overall condition is very good. Nice original patina. Robust action. The bore is mostly bright with strong rifling. Fine stock with less than average handling. Markings are legible. Cartouche remnants on the left wrist. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 21 inches. Caliber: .54 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 $4200 #255100 Antique: Yes Price: $4,200.00 Buy Now Pay with
