		Richmond Carbine CSA Richmond Carbine, dated 1862, 58 Cal. with a very good bore. All metal has a dark patina matching throughout. This gun has never been cleaned.!!! The walnut stock is orig. Harpers Ferry wood, cut and spliced to shorten it from a musket stock to a carbine stock length. This is as it should be for the early war Richmonds. The stock is missing the rear sling swivel as it appears it has been gone for a very long time. A set of initials along with many handling marks attest to its wartime usage. The ramrod has a crude blacksmith forged tip and adds to the southern charm of a field repair. It is at present stuck in the stock. The front, rear sight,brass nose cap,barrel, bands and lockplate are Richmond while the butt plate is Harpers Ferry. I first saw this carbine 14 years ago in my shop when a gentleman from Winchester brought it in for me to appraise. It was the only civil war gun he had which he purchased years before in Virginia. He told me that when he was ready to sell he would call. Of course we all have heard that before but this time darned if I didn't get a call last week. So here it is and has never been on the market and as fresh and unmessed with as they come outside of being dug. Don't miss this one as they only come along every 14 years. (for me) and very fairly priced. $12500.00 - F467
		Smith Carbine This carbine is in 50 cal. with an exc. bore and appears unfired. Mfg from 1861-65 by American Arms Co. Chicopee Falls, Mass. with a total production of over 30K. This gun is in near mint condition. The barrel has 99% of blue. The frame has v.g. case color and the walnut stock is in fine condition with minor handling marks and on small dent which looks like a screw head was pressed against it on the left side near the cartouche. I am sure that can be steamed out if desired. I have priced it reflecting that flaw. A very good buy. $3695.00 - F484
		Smith Carbine 50 Cal ser# 11042 This is one absolutly stunning carbine. The frame, breech and hammer has vivid case color as good as you will find. The barrel has 100% of the orig. blue.

		Spencer Rifle Serial #28825 - Serial number range for the 105th PA Vol. Infantry with #28826 being an identified gun to that unit. Barrel has a nice even brown patina with no rust or pitting. Frame has a matching look. Markings on frame are good with the serial number partially obscured. Barrel with fore stock removed shows the serial number correctly and complete. Walnut stock is in good condition but appears to have a varnish finish which could be removed if desired. Walnut fore stock is in excellent condition but appears to have been replaced with an original fore stock and center band with sling swivel. This work was probably done by Nelson Delany, Reading, PA a gunsmith in the 1860 census. His name and address are stamped on the barrel in front of the rear sight. This is probably a gun he acquired from a veteran from the 105th PA, worked on it and resold it. The Pennsylvania Kentucky Rifle by Henry J. Kauffman ~ "Delaney, Nelson; 8 North Fifth Street, Reading, PA. 1860. Nelson Delaney appears to have worked in Reading, PA, throughout most of the last half of the nineteenth century. He is listed as a gunsmith in a PA Business Directory of 1860 and two groups of his rifles were offered for sale in the 1885 catalogue of Jos. C. Grubb in Phila., PA." $3895.00 - F434
