About 20 ga., 28'' plain barrel with a perhaps fair pitted bore. This Amoskeag Mfg. Co. produced Second Type Lindner carbine has been converted to a fowler with the addition of a smoothbore barrel. The metal surfaces are toning to a dull gray patina with overall light pitting with more moderate pitting around the breech and on the buttplate. There are scattered spots of light oxidation and a hairline crack bisecting the upper tang. The lockplate is dated 1863 behind the hammer and shows a clear Federal eagle flanked by ''US'' along with ''AMOSKEAG Mfg Co / MANCHESTER, N.H.'' and the buttplate tang is stamped ''U*S''. Pitting obscures the markings on the top of the breech though ''EDWARD LINDNER'S / PATENT / MARCH 29, 1859'' can still be discerned under scrutiny. The original collar locking device is intact and it securely locks the breech closed, though the spring appears to be missing from the breech which no longer pops up when the collar is opened. The walnut stock rates about very good plus as lightly cleaned with an added finish leaving the metal components proud of the wood. There are a few cracks around the buttplate, some light handling marks, and no visible cartouches. The barrel is sighted with a brass bead and the characteristic reversed rifle-musket triggerguard bow with sling ring is intact. The action of this scarce Second Type Lindner musket appears to function well mechanically. (13B11739-11) {ANTIQUE) (1800/2200)
