A rare and absolutely complete 1855 pistol carbine, all original, dated on the lockplate, and 1855 on the barrel tang, with clear cartouche on the shoulder stock.

Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $55.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance.
The gun is very good, with sharp marks on the lock plate. The tape primer door is pitted, and the catch is not working, The barrel has some tool marks at the breech, possibly from someone removing the breech for cleaning. The stock is good, but there are no visible cartouches on the pistol, although the cartouche outline on the shoulder stock is very strong. There is a spare hammer return spring inside the muzzle. The brass is nicely toned. Witherell's strives to provide as much information and photographs as possible but encourages in-person inspection by bidders.
