Original Danish M-1841 N.J. Lobnitz Breech Loading Under Hammer Percussion Carbine - Hussar Regiment Marked
-
Original Item: Only One Available. These are extremely rare, adopted on July 17th 1841 for the Regiment of Hussars, this was a great leap forward in breech loading Cavalry Carbines. Designed and manufactured by N.J. Lobnitz, the chamber opens by releasing a lever on the right side, which allows the barrel to swivel upwards and the stationary breech block to become exposed for loading. The carbine has an under ring hammer, with enclosed trigger behind, which also functions as the sear to hold the hammer back.
These were an ingenious design but unfortunately not terribly efficient. As with all "under hammer" designs, chronic issues with the cap falling off the nipple sealed their fate, and the Carbines were all withdrawn from service in 1855.
In very good condition with a blued salt and pepper finish, the left side of the receiver is marked with the Royal Cypher of Danish King Christian VIII, who reigned 1839 to 1848. Under this it is marked M - 1841 over A - 1841 - 123. Many other components of the rifle are marked with shortened serial number A - 123. The barrel is marked GHRE. 65., which would be the regimental designation.
The Carbine features a regular blade fore sight and a "V" back sight at the rear of the 18" heavily rifled barrel and also an elevated adjustable "Peep Sight" on the barrel tang.
Exceptionally rare, ready to display!
