VERY RARE COLT PATERSON MODEL 1839 CARBINE.

VERY RARE COLT PATERSON MODEL 1839 CARBINE. Cal. About 56. SN 199. This rare rifle, one of only about 950 produced in period 1838-1841 has a 24” smoothbore bbl with multi-beveled rear section with usual markings on left side of bbl lug. It has an attached rammer on right side of bbl lug and a brass bead front sight with Kentucky rifle style fixed rear sight. It has a 2-1/2” long 6-shot cyl with two sets of four grooves and does not appear to have ever had the cyl scene rolled. It only has “COLTS PATENT” and “PATENT ARMS MANY PATTERSON — RSEY” rolled around the center. It has a serpentine shaped iron triggerguard and an uncheckered, straight grain walnut stock with a pinned repair through the wrist. It has a semi-crescent iron buttplate with short stepped tang. The serial number appears on inside of bbl lug, the wedge and back of cyl and on the cyl rotating ring & keeper ring. Due to wear and pitting, the serial number was not found on buttplate or buttstock. CONDITION: About good. No orig finish remains with metal being a cleaned gray finish with light to moderate pitting, heavier around forcing cone area. Stock is sound with the aforementioned repair and a replaced wedge on each side at top tang with Fiberglas fill inside, only slightly visible from outside and retains a modern refinish. Some of screws may be replacements. Mechanics are a little loose but functional, dark pitted bore. 4-30410 JR79 (20,000-30,000)
