This is one of approximately 500 New Model 1869 carbines manufactured between 1869 and 1871. The top of the barrel has a fixed front sight and Lawrence pattern ladder rear sight. The top of the barrel is marked with the three-line address marking and with "NEW MODEL". The left side of the receiver is marked with the two-line patent marking. Mounted on a smooth walnut forearm and straight grip stock with saddle ring bar and smooth steel buttplate.

Very good plus with an attractive frontier look, traces of the original blue finish remain in the protected areas with the remainder having turned a smooth dark brown patina with a few small areas of light pitting. The casehardened components have traces of the original case colors mostly in the protected areas with a dark gray/brown patina overall and a few areas of silvery gray patina, and some small patches of pin prick pitting. The wood is also very good with scattered scratches, bruises and dings. Mechanically excellent.
