10,500 of these "side lever" Hall carbines were produced by Simeon North in 1844-1853. More than half are believed to have been rifled during the Civil War. This one remains smoothbore and has standard markings and features.

Fair with gray and brown patina and extensive pitting mostly concentrated on the receiver and breechblock. The revarnished stock is also fine with a repaired chip at the back of the action, "J R D" carved behind the trigger guard, and some scrapes and dings. Mechanically fine.
