Manufactured in 1839 with a total production of only about 2,020. It has the sliding bayonet/ramrod under the barrel and the large eye for the sling through the wrist. Standard "J.H. HALL/US/1839" marking on top of the breechblock. Fixed offset sights on the barrel and front of the receiver. Brown finished iron mountings and barrel, casehardened breech and mounted with a one-piece full straight grip walnut stock secured by two barrel bands and flat iron buttplate. These carbines were issued to the 2nd U.S. Dragoons for the Florida campaign. They saw extensive use and are seldom encountered in this condition.

Very fine. The carbine retains 80% plus original brown finish with some minor pitting on the barrel towards the muzzle and some scattered minor spotting overall. The breechblock retains traces of original case colors in the protected areas. The stock is fine with numerous pressure dents and a few gouges. Mechanically fine.
