Description

Maynard Carbine, 2nd model, 50 caliber Maynard. This Civil War firearm is marked on the reverse frame in four lines “Edward Maynard Patentee May 27, 1851 Dec 6, 1859. The inspector’s initials of AJN appear on the reverse barrel breech. The serial number on the bottom trigger frame rear of lever is 112xx. The obverse frame bears the inscription in three lines Manufactured by Mass Arms Co Chicopee Falls. There are two government inspector’s cartouches on the reverse stock wrist. The butt plate top bears a small letter “s”. The overall condition is fantastic; the firearm has a strong breech lock, the lever lock is superb, sights are correct with the original two blade rear sight (however, the sight blade retention pin is missing and a wire has been inserted as a replacement eons past). The sling ring and bar are intact and original. The bore is clear, bright, and with strong rifling. The screws illustrate some slight use but without any major or unusual burring. There are traces of the original blueing and color casing, with patinae. All metals are clean and rust free. The stock is unbroken with the exception of a missing chip at the toe. There are storage and use marks on the stock but the stock is strong with well pronounced cartouches. The hammer drop is strong, the action is superb, and the original nipple is in place with just a slight evidence of firing. This carbine has been on exhibition in the South Carolina Civil War Museum.
