Description :

.45 Caliber Breechloading US Martial Long Arm. SN# 147232. Sold by the noted Trapdoor Authority Al Frasca in January 2002. His description is certainly better than my poor efforts. " This Carbine was produced in 1880 and at some time in the past has been refurbished. More than likely it was done for the Spanish American War. The stock has been scraped and there is just a hint of the original cartouche. All of the metal parts are in excellent condition with strong blue on the lock, buttplate, triggerguard and light blue on the barrel. During the refurbishing, the breechblock was blued but not polished. The rifled bore is excellent." I would like to add that the M1879 sight has the Carbine "C" and the mechanics are perfect. Nice Carbine from an Expert source.
