These carbines were manufactured by Edward Gwyn and Abner C. Campbell in Ohio and are essentially updated versions of their prior Cosmopolitan carbines. This example has the standard Type I markings and features other than the non-matching barrel (D174) and is equipped with the 600 yard rear sight. Only approximately 700 of this variation were manufactured c. 1863-1864.

Fair as assembled (see above) with mottled brown patina and mild pitting, mostly distinct markings other than the faint cartouche, two repairs in the wrist, and mild scratches, marks, and dents. Mechanically fine.
