Item Description: Translate description
serial #15551, .54 cal, 21'' round barrel with a bright excellent bore showing a little mild oxidation near the muzzle and otherwise crisp rifling. This desirable carbine shows the correct Confederate ''Z'' stamp along the stock behind the triggerguard tang, believed to be the mark of Captain Louis Zimmer who oversaw repair and refurbishment at Richmond Arsenal. The metal surfaces show a more modern cleaning mostly toned to silvery pewter with remnants of smoothed-over light pitting and minor oxidation staining. There are some interesting more noticeable patches of erosion along the top of the barrel for about 6'' that appear to be due to contact with some sort of acidic or caustic substance long ago. The Burnside markings atop the action are rather softened but the lockplate retains fine markings and the serial numbers are strong throughout. The smooth walnut buttstock and forend remain in very good plus condition having darkened from the years and showing mostly worn finish with scattered light dings and handling marks. The left side of the wrist retains a pair of rather good legible inspector cartouches and the ''Z'' behind the tang is strong. All proper hardware is intact, the serialized parts are matching and the lock is crisp and seems to function well mechanically. A nice honest Confederate-captured Burnside carbine that actually appears to have hardly been fired. (13C12009-5) {ANTIQUE} (2500/3000)
