Very Fine Civil War Kentucky Marked Meriden Manufacturing Co. Triplett & Scott Repeating Rimfire Carbine

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, a folding leaf rear sight which lacks elevation markings, and 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 lower left side of the frame is marked with the manufacturer's address "MERIDEN MAN'FG. CO./MERIDEN, CONN." in two lines. The serial number is stamped on the right side of the frame. The patent marking "TRIPLETT & SCOTT/PATENT DEC. 6, 1864" is stamped in two lines on the upper receiver tang.

ConditionFine, retains 80% original blue finish with some finish loss on the magazine tube, 60% original case colors with some areas fading to a smooth gray, some scattered minor scratches, with sharp markings and edges in the metal overall. Wood is fine, with a repaired/refinished split visible on either side of the wrist, some light scratches and handling marks, and defined edges. Mechanically excellent.
