Starr Arms Co. manufactured approximately 20,601 of these percussion carbines between 1862-1865 during the Civil War, according to "Flayderman's Guide" (9th Edition, 9B-098). Inspection initials "L.A.B" on the left breech area of the barrel, a faint bordered script cartouche on the left of the stock wrist, and carved period initials "TR" on the right of the buttstock.

Good with some original blue finish on the barrel, smooth gray patina and scattered freckling/pitting on the balance. Wood is also good as sanded and re-oiled, with numerous scattered dents, scratches, and a few cracks and chips. Mechanically fine.
