Scarce U.S. Simeon North Model 1840 Type II 'Fishtail' Hall Breech Loading Percussion Carbine

Simeon North was one of the most influential arms makers of the early republic beginning with manufacturing the first U.S. martial pistol, the North & Cheney Model 1799, and finally ending with the Model 1843 Hall carbines right up to his death in 1852. He was influential in developing the first milling machines and establishing truly interchangeable parts on U.S. martial arms. He manufactured 6,501 of these Model 1840 Hall carbines in 1840-1843. 6,001 of them were the standard Type II with the distinctive "fishtail" shaped breech lever. The vast majority of these were smoothbore, and some were later bored out to larger calibers and rifled. This 1843 dated example remains in .52 caliber and is smoothbore. It has standard sights and markings. Inspection initials "JCB" marked on right of the breech. "GDM" (George D. Moller) collection initials marked at the toe of the stock. Provenance: The George Moller Collection

ConditionVery good, retaining much of the period refinished brown finish with some patches of light pitting underneath the surface. Stock is very fine replacement with some light handling marks, discreet small patched repairs at the corners with small chips behind the upper tang, and defined edges. Mechanically excellent.
