A GOOD .670 FLINTLOCK CAVALRY-CARBINE, MODEL 'PAGET CARBINE', no visible serial number,
first quarter of the 19th century, with round 'in the white' (as issued)15 7/8in. iron barrel, applied fore-sight, standing notch rear-sight to the front of top-tang, moulded band at breech, small military style bevel-edged lock signed 'TOWER' on the stepped and pointed tail, 'G.R.' crown device below pan, ring-necked cock with sliding safe (slightly deformed) behind, walnut full-stock with brass furniture except large 'J' shaped saddle bar with loose ring and captive pan-headed ramrod, the whole in fine condition and appearing little used
Other Notes: for an identical Paget carbine that would form a 'pair' see the following lot. The condition of this and the following carbine is such that it was almost certainly one of a number acquired as 'new old stock' from the Woolwich Arsenal when much of the contents were sold off in the 1960s
