This carbine is marked "GREENE RIFLE WORKS./WORCHESTER, MASS./PAT'D 1864." on the left side of the brass frame. Approximately 2,500 of these carbines were manufactured by Greene Rifle Works to fulfill James Warner's second U.S. contract and delivered between February-March of 1865. After the Civil War, the Warner carbines were sold as surplus and then Schuyler, Hartley & Graham resold them to France in 1870. This carbine has a round blade front sight, folding leaf rear sight with "3", "5", and "8" markings on the leaf (300-800 yards), a smooth walnut forearm, manual extractor, a straight wrist walnut buttstock, a saddle bar and ring on the left side of the frame, "M.M" on the buttplate tang, "1727" on the bottom of the barrel, frame, and breechblock. Includes wood tampion. Provenance: The George Moller Collection

Very good with smooth brown patina on the barrel, attractively aged brass, and light overall wear. The wood is very good, with a small crack and a chip underneath the forearm, and some light dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
