Description:

2,500 of these carbines were manufactured by Greene Rifle Works to fill Warner's second contract. They were delivered in February and March of 1865 near the end of the Civil War. Warner carbines are known to have been issued to the 3rd Massachusetts and 1st Wisconsin Cavalry, and most (nearly 2,500 possibly including some of the 1,501 first contract carbines) were later sold through a New York dealer to the French government for use in the Franco-Prussian War. It has standard markings and features.

Rating Definition:

Very good with mottled brown patina and minor oxidation on the steel, attractively aged patina on the brass, period refinished wood, some slivers absent from the edges of the forearm, a crack on the left side of the forearm, and general scrapes and dings. Mechanically fine.
