A scarce, Victorian, colonial issued Charles Lancaster Sapper’s and Miner’s percussion carbine with Lancaster’s Patent, oval bore dating from around 1860.
The .568 [26 bore] oval bore barrel with graduated ladder sights measures 31 ½ inches and the whole carbine measures 47 ½ inches.
The lock is marked ‘CHARLES LANCASTER / LONDON’, proof marks are clear on the barrel and the ‘LANCASTER’S PATENT’ is still partially viable at the breech.
The action is in good working order.
The iron furniture, lock, hammer, barrel, sling swivels, barrel bands and rammer are all in good condition. Note that the rammer is currently stuck fast.
The butt tang is marked ‘VF’, ‘1022’ and the Government ownership arrow. The number ‘1022’ is also found on the barrel’s sword bar and rammer.
The stock with its standard, rivetted metal re-enforcement is in a good used condition with the usual handling nocks and bruises one would expect from an issued military weapon.
A scarce, officially issued, colonial carbine in very good condition from a quality maker.
Sold as a collector item only.
