Tower Paget Carbine Muzzleloader .65 Rifles

A scarce flintlock ‘Paget’ Carbine, of standard form, Ordnance marked, with flat, bolted lock and a captive ramrod, circa 1805.

The gun comes complete, not only with the standard issue sling bar and ring (often missing), but also the original leather strap to attach it to the user’s shoulder belt.

The gun is in full working order, holding on both the full and half cock. The safety catch also engages on the half cock, as it should. The trigger action is firm. Both the barrel and the brass butt plate are engraved’WC965’. The inside of the lock plate is marked to Birmingham manufacture.

There is some historic worm to the woodwork, but otherwise the gun is in excellent order for it’s age.
