Scarce U.S. Harpers Ferry Hall Model 1836 Breech Loading Percussion Carbine with Ramrod Bayonet

Approximately 2,020 Harpers Ferry Model 1836 Hall carbines were manufactured c. 1837-1840. The Model 1833 and 1836 carbines are historically important in being the first percussion arms adopted by the U.S. military. The ramrod bayonet was first experimented with on the Model 1833 and 1836 Hall carbines and was later revived on the Springfield Model 1888 Trapdoor and early Model 1903 rifles. These carbines were used by the 2nd U.S. Dragoons during the Seminole Wars in Florida, in which they were exposed to harsh conditions contributing to their scarcity today. Though largely overshadowed by other 19th century conflicts, the fight against the Seminoles was the longest and most expensive Indian war in U.S. history. This example is dated 1839 on the breechblock and has most of the standard markings and features including a triangular ramrod bayonet, but lacks inspector markings at the breech and on the stock. "GDM" (George D. Moller) collection initials marked at the toe of the stock. Includes wood tampion. Provenance: The George Moller Collection

ConditionVery fine, retaining 75% plus original brown finish with some scattered areas of light flaking. Strong dark blue casehardening on the breech block with some scattered very light pin prick pitting on top, and sharp markings. Stock is fine as re-oiled with scattered handling marks and dents, a small chip behind the upper tang and right flat at the rear, some scuffs on the lower right of the buttstock, and overall defined edges. Mechanically excellent. A scarce Harpers Ferry Model 1836 Hall carbine that would make a fine addition to any U.S. Martial collection.
