Gun Collectors Dream Auction #69 Weapons of War!
Lot 513:
The New Model 1863 introduced few changes to the New Model 1859, a larger clean out screw on the left breechblock for example, and most parts were interchangeable, so the new designation was not given with any attention and the exact date it was applied is not clear, but an April 1, 1863, letter from Ordnance did away with the patchbox, giving some time line for the carbines. This is a nice example of the carbine as made without patchbox and is serial numbered 22907 This is one of the principal cavalry weapons of the Civil War, sought after and used by both sides. This one was made in time for many of the great campaigns. This One Has the .50-70 Conversion. Appears in Great Condition For Age!
