Item Description: Translate description
About 11 bore (0.751 cal), 16 3/4'' barrel with a good bore showing light to moderate old oxidation. This martial-style carbine has been reconverted to flint using an antique commercial lock. The barrel is a medium gray-brown patina showing some scattered light pitting, oxidation staining and subtle hints of twist patterns. The lockplate is a darker plum-brown with some more moderate old pitting and the back edge a bit proud of the wood. The lock features a bridled roller frizzen and the barrel retains fine maker markings with ''W & J RIGBY DUBLIN'' and impressed ''(Crown) / P'' proof mark. The Irish registration number ''WX 4006'' atop the breech is rather soft but crisply stamped along the buttplate as well, indicating registration in the county of Wexford. The barrel is equipped with a long underslung bar onto which mounts the captive swiveling ramrod assembly and the brass fittings consist of the rather loose nosecap, single ramrod thimble, triggerguard with vague foliate extension, simple patchbox with eight compartments inside, buttplate and teardrop lock screw escutcheons. The hardware is a pleasant mild ocher patina and the walnut stock rates very fine as lightly cleaned showing some scattered light dings and handling marks. The wide sling swivels are intact and the lock is not very crisp but functional. An attractive and interesting little Irish carbine for the antique arms collector. (13B11981-47) {ANTIQUE} (1000/1500)
