Gwyn & Campbell .52 caliber saddle-ring carbine marked “Union Rifle”, blue and case hardened finish, cartouche wood stocks, serial #2475. The barrel shows 75-85% original blue, toning to brown with some light erosion and aging just starting. The frame show 30-50% case hardening within a smoky browning patina. The block and tang show 50-60% thinning original blue. The stock is very good plus and would be fine other than a few dings at the right side. The left wrist shows two razor sharp cartouches. The wood to metal fit is excellent. The sights and small parts are all retained. The bore is bright and shows little to no use. A very crisp carbine that would improve with careful cleaning as it has a coating of smoke and oil. Est: $1,250 - $2,500
