Government records list 6,686 of these carbines purchased for the Navy. The leather cover on the barrel was designed to protect the barrel from corrosive saltwater; many are badly damaged or absent due to extensive service, with this example still retaining it. Blade front sight, adjustable rear sight, and standard markings.

Very good overall with traces of original finish, gray patina, scattered light pitting/freckling, and some light handling marks in the stock. The leather has general age related cracking and flaking. Mechanically fine.
