This Peabody carbine was manufactured by the Providence Tool Company in 1866-1871. The barrel is fitted with a notch and folding leaf rear sight and a front sight blade mounted on a bayonet stud base. A saddle ring and staple are located on the left side of the receiver as are the "PEABODY'S PAT./JULY 22, 1862/MAN'F'D BY/PROVIDENCE TOOL CO./PROV. R.I." markings. The Providence Tool Co. inspection mark for foreign contract arms, "W.C.," is stamped on the left stock wrist.

Excellent with 97% plus original blue and vivid casehardened finish and only minor wear concentrated at the muzzle. The lightly reoiled wood is very fine with scattered dings and scrapes on the left side of the buttstock. Mechanically excellent.
