Providence Tool Co. Peabody Rimfire Saddle Ring Carbine

These were manufactured by the Providence Tool Co. of Providence, Rhode Island c. 1866-1871. The Peabody carbine was developed and tested in 1864, but the end of the Civil War terminated Ordnance Department interest in it. Large numbers of Peabody rifles and carbines were sold to Canada, Mexico, Switzerland, Romania, Spain, and France for use in the Franco-Prussian War. An oval "WC" Providence Tool Co. inspection mark, which was stamped on all Peabody carbines manufactured for foreign contracts, is stamped on the left of the stock wrist. "VAL-63" carved upside down on the right of the buttstock.

ConditionFine, retains 85% original blue finish on the barrel with areas thinning to a smooth brown patina on the balance, strong patterns of muted case colors on the frame and components, and scattered light freckling with sharp markings and edges in the metal overall. The wood is very fine with numerous scattered light dents and scratches on the buttstock, carving on the right of the buttstock as mentioned above, and a crisp cartouche. Mechanically excellent.
