US Model 1833 Hall-North Type II carbine

sold

US Model 1833 Hall-North Type II carbine. .52 caliber, 26 ¼ inch barrel rifled with six grooves as found on a small number of these carbines prior to the Civil War. The barrel is marked “NWP” for inspector Nahum W. Patch on the left side, a small “P” is between the two rearmost supporter screws. Iron furniture is all correct including the sling ring mounted on the back of the trigger guard in front of the tool box in the lower butt stock. The ramrod bayonet is original to this piece. The Receiver, which now only shows traces of the original five line North markings does not include a readable date, but was probably 1837 as most others known carry that date. The sliding receiver latch lock is missing as they were all removed during rifling. The Black Walnut stock is correct and retains the script “NWP” on the left side and the cartouch is visible but not quite readable in front of the butt plate tang.

The metal shows light pitting around the Receiver area which is normal for these carbines when they were fired and overall the metal is very good showing a few areas of light pitting. The bore needs a good scrubbing out and the two barrel bands have a dark patina. The Black Walnut stock is in very good condition with no major losses and only a few minor scratches and a carved “S” in front of the trigger guard. Overall a very nice carbine considering these were all issued and used hard by the U.S. Dragoons on the Western frontier.
