Good condition original antique Civil War Gallagher .50 caliber percussion breechloading cavalry carbine in .50 caliber percussion. The hammer and hammer screw are incorrect replacements, and the nipple is damaged. Otherwise works fine. Metal has plum brown patina with some scattered pitting. 22 ¼” barrel has original sights. Bore is dark and pitted with strong rifling. Stock has original finish and shows some handling marks and some scattered checking cracks. Comes with a spare nipple that stores in the butt trap. A good representative example of a classic Civil War Gallagher Carbine.
