SCARCE Rifled and Sighted .69 Model 1847 Springfield Cavalry Carbine
Description: This is one of only 344 Springfield Model 1847 Cavalry Carbines that were rifled and sighted at Frankfort Arsenal in 1859.

The rifled bore is bright and shiny with scattered light pitting. Three leaf rear sight is intact. The lock and tang both dated 1848. Breech stamped VP over Eagle. Buttplate stamped US and rack number 30. Stock in excellent antique condition, with numerous small bumps and scratches typical of a 175 year old military rifle. A great example of a scarce US military carbine. $3500 + SHIPPING. Price: $3,500.00 Contact Seller |
