Manufactured in 1839 out of a total production of only about 2,020. This is a later variation without the trapdoor in the bottom of the butt for the tools. 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 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.

Fine. The barrel and trigger guard retain 60% original brown lacquer finish with some minor flaking, scratches and scuffs. The receiver and breech block have 60% of the original mottled case colors. The stock is also fine with a few small minor gouges and some overall scattered minor dings and dents. The marking remains sharp. Mechanically excellent.
