Flintlock carbine ID
The flintlock carbine seems to be too long for 1803. Maybe a 1839 Cavalry Stutzer? I cannot find any photo of this gun, only a drawing from a late 19th century book. I'm not sure, just a guess. --Greg-Z (talk) 15:44, 4 May 2022 (EDT)
- Yes, after a close inspection, I guess, that this is M1833 Cavalry Carbine: the shapes of the muzzle and trigger guard, the positions of the front sight and a barrel band looks similar to M1833 carbine. Pyramid Silent (talk) 16:09, 4 May 2022 (EDT)
