Description:

23,000 of these Model 1865 carbines are estimated to have been manufactured in 1865 and 1866. This carbine has the Stabler cut-off and the standard manufacturer markings and features, including "EAW" and "DAP" cartouches on the left side of the stock and "DAP" stamp ahead of the buttplate tang. It also has German "crown/V" markings on top of the barrel and receiver at the breech indicating it was later sold in Germany and marked with the "vorrat" proof. This may have been one of the surplus arms sold to the French for the Franco-Prussian War and subsequently captured by the Prussians.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall with 85% plus original blue and casehardened finish, light fading, particularly vibrant case colors on the hammer, some minor chipping around the inlet edges, light scratches and dings, and crisp markings on the excellent wood including the cartouches. Mechanically excellent.
