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 "C.G.C" stamp ahead of the buttplate tang.

Good with thin original blue finish mixed with gray and brown patina and oxidation on the barrel, mottled gray and brown patina on the receiver, traces of case colors elsewhere, and mostly smooth brown and gray patina on the balance. The lock plate is a replacement as its finish does not match the receiver. The wood is very good and has moderate scrapes and dings, legible cartouches, and some compression type marks. Mechanically excellent.
