Nice Rare Carbine. The reason there was only 1052 made is during the New York Draft riots the factory was burned to the ground and never rebuilt.
 
Beautiful piece! Thanks for sharing! We had a Trivia question about this weapon just last month. Nice to actually see some photos of such a fine example.
 
Wow! That's a fine looking piece! I've never seen any percussion firearm with lock plates that long!
