" 1862 " .....Civil War .... Breechloading Carbine....LAYAWAY?
Description: LAYAWAY?....Joslyn Model " 1862 " .....Civil War .... Breechloading Carbine.... serial #2831, 52 RF, 22” barrel with a bright about fine bore with some light oxidation and light pitting in the otherwise strong rifling. The barrel is toning to a dark gray patina with an area of softened light pitting, speckles of old light oxidation, and remnants of a worn protective lacquer here and there. The lockplate, hammer, breechblock and upper tang are toning to a dark pewter gray case-hardened patina with speckles of light oxidation, some unobtrusive fine cleaning striations, and traces of original case-hardened colors here and there. The brass buttplate, triggerguard, and barrel band have aged to a warm mustard patina with a few expected small impact marks and spots of light tarnish. The bottom line of the breechblock markings is softened but legible, and the various markings are otherwise crisp. The walnut stock rates very good plus to perhaps fine with an area of moderate marks on the left side of the forend, and various other light handling marks from military service. The stock has some rather nice raised grain figure throughout, and there is the softened remnant of a boxed inspection ?cartouche on the left stock flat above the intact sling bar and ring. The original sights are intact and the action is strong and crisp. A very nice example of the scarcer 1862 model, of which only about 2200 were purchased by the military before the introduction of the 1864 with its improved breechblock. ....2nd Firearm SHIPS FREE WITH THIS ONE!.....S/H $55. ....Thanks.
