- Lot Description
Known as the "Freemont Hall", one of 5,000 M-1843 Hall carbines sold as surplus by the New York Arsenal in August of 1861 to arms speculators backed by J.P. Morgan for $3.50 each and "modified" for use of .58 caliber ammunition by enlarging the chamber to approximately .58 and rifling the barrel, but leaving it in the original .52 caliber! The guns were subsequently sold to General John C. Fremont's command in St. Louis for $22, resulting in Congressional investigation into what became known as the "Hall Carbine Affair." A scarce example of a historically important Civil War used carbine.
Good to very good. Mostly smooth metal with a layer dried grease or oil over most of the surfaces, and some lightly scattered pinprick pitting. Mechanically functional, good bore is dirty with strong rifling. Stock solid with bumps and dings, no visible cartouche on counterpane. Appears to be a Springfield produced rifled-musket with a Harpers Ferry lock.Condition
