CONDITION: Excellent plus as issued condition with outstandingly fiery case colors and very minor handling and storage type marks. The wood is equally excellent plus
and has a extraordinarily crisp cartouche, stunning raised grain, smooth oiled finish, and only some slight flaking at the edges
of the heel and toe. Mechanically excellent.
This is the most attractive Palmer Civil War Carbine we have catalogued! Provenance: The Bob Noske Collection; The David Aroh Collection; Property
of a Gentleman.
Estimate: 8,500 - 13,000
CONDITION:
Excellent with 95% plus original blue and vivid
casehardened finish, some minor
production flaws such as the
textured patch on top of
the breech, and generally
only minor handling
and storage marks on
the metal and wood.
Mechanically excellent.
Gibbs carbines are already
difficult to come by, and
this is clearly the finest
example we have had the
pleasure of cataloging.
Provenance: The John R. McMurray Collection; The David Aroh Collection;
Property of a Gentleman.
Estimate: 18,000 - 27,500
