It looks to me like a flintlock musket which in the mid 19th C has been converted to a percussion carbine in the style of the 1844 Yeomanry Carbine. Chisnall illustrates a similar example in his book British Non Ordnance Military Carbines 1750 - 1900 .
What calibre is yours ? |

They are not usually as valuable as the strightforward Brtish Army issue equivalents even though they may be rarer , they are not as desirable. I have no idea how much your carbine is worth , sorry.

Hello everyone:
1 - This is a model 1796 carbine for Heavy Dragoons, transport rodless side, and two rings for transport, one in the head and the other on the forearm and barrel .65 caliber 46 " 2 - Obviously, the key (lock) has all the original records. 3 - The remains of inscriptions on the gun (barrel) are GR surmounted and the broad arrow (denoting the property of the Crown), and crossed and crowned scepters (Test Bank Tower) 4 - Conversion to percussion has still made by a gunsmith particular. It denotes the replacement cylinder head bolt (breech plug), and its replacement by a screw with fireplace (nipple). Also, the hammer is very elaborate. 5 - The stick is fixed to retrofit. The carriage is made of bronze or brass, and runs through a square cube, instead of a round ring. Sorry for the translator ... Fernando K |
