OE - GOOD - some minor replacement parts; metal smoothly rusted or lightly pitted in places, cleaned; principal lettering, numerals and design on metal legible; lightly scratched, bruised or minor cracks repaired; in good working order.

Manufactured by Savage Revolving Arms Co. under sub-contract for Remington to fulfill a government contract for 5,000 carbines. Deliveries were completed in February-April of 1865. Approximately 3,600 were repurchased from the government by Remington in 1870 and then resold to the French for use in the Franco-Prussian War, so they are fairly scarce in the U.S.
