Description:

The Triplett & Scott carbines were manufactured by the Meriden Manufacturing Company, Meriden, Connecticut, in 1864-1865. 2,000 22-inch barrel carbines were manufactured as part of a contract for 5,000 weapons with the State of Kentucky in 1865. The carbine features a seven-round magazine and is loaded by twisting the barrel to align with the magazine on the lower left side of the receiver. The carbine has a folding leaf rear sight which lacks elevation markings. Sling swivels on both the toe and heel of the stock. The left side of the chamber is stamped "KENTUCKY" in small block letters indicating the carbine was part of the 5,000 piece state contract. The serial number is stamped on the right side of the frame. The lower left side of the frame is marked with the manufacturer's name and location: "MERIDEN MAN'FG. CO./MERIDEN, CONN." in two lines. The patent marking: "TRIPLETT & SCOTT/PATENT DEC. 6, 1864" is stamped in two lines on the upper receiver tang. "Y/W.R" is stamped on the left side at the butt. Provenance: The Ralph Arnold Collection; The David Aroh Collection; Property of a Gentleman

Rating Definition:

Excellent with 95% plus original blue, 90% plus original case colors, and minimal light wear. The wood is exceptionally fine and has smooth oiled finish, a very small flake at the magazine tube, and minor scratches. Mechanically excellent. We cannot recall a finer example!
