This is an excellent example of a martially marked Civil War U.S. Remington Split Breech Type I Carbine. The barrel is equipped with pinched blade front and folding leaf rear sights with the left side at the breech having a small letter "B" inspector initial. Most of the components have inspector single letter markings. The casehardened frame has a saddle ring and bar mounted on the left side with the upper tang stamped "REMINGTON'S ILION, N.Y./PAT. DEC. 23, 1863 MAY 3 & NOV 16, 1864". The barrel, single barrel band, split breechblock and hammer are blue. Mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock fitted with a casehardened buttplate. The left side of the stock wrist is stamped with clear "PB" and "CGC" script cartouches. (This is the same inspector as the Henry Rifle!)

Excellent. The carbine retains 97% original blue finish showing some minor thinning. The receiver retains 90% plus original case colors. The wood is also excellent with reused feathered grain, a barely noticeable sliver of wood missing from the forearm and some minor handling marks overall. The cartouches are crisp. The carbine is in excellent mechanical condition, however the firing pin has been removed from the face of the hammer. This is the finest example of this model of Remington we have ever offered at auction.
