Description
Whitney-Kennedy, .44-40 cal. lever action carbine. Serial #R619, mfg. 1880. Antique. Nice all patina carbine with 22" round barrel. Bore is fair/good with lots of strong rifling, but light pitting in the grooves. Stock appears to have been refinished quite some time ago - wood is below forearm cap. Buckhorn rear sights. Blade front sight. Barrel address is faint but readable: "WHITNEY ARMS CO., NEW HAVEN, CONN USA". "12-79" patent date on top tang. Crescent butt with brass sliding trap. Work nicely! Detraction is a "bobbed" hammer or perhaps it once broke off and is now smooth. Pretty cool old gal! Antique. Can ship right to your doorstep. Gunrunner West item.
