.64 caliber smoothbore, 23" round barrel, no S/N. Browned finish, case hardened breech block, walnut stock. Top of breech block marked in three lines: J.H. HALL / U.S. / 1837. Correct eye-bolt through stock for sling suspension, implement compartment in butt containing original wiper. Missing ramrod bayonet and rear sight blade. 2,020 of these carbines were manufactured at Harpers Ferry ca 1837-1840, many of which were issued to the 2nd US Dragoons serving in Florida, replacing the rifled .52 M1833 carbines they had previously been issued. Condition: Very good. Retains much of the browned finish, with the butt plate and implement compartment heavily oxidized and moderately pitted. Clear markings, bore heavily oxidized. Action not functional, sear spring appears to be broken or missing. Stock with scattered bumps and dings but retaining a feathery texture. A really nice example of an early M1836 Hall Carbine that is worthy of restoration if the missing parts can be found.
