Description:

Antique U.S. Civil War Richardson & Overman Gallager Saddle Ring Carbine M1860 .50 Cal Percussion Rifle. The right side of the receiver is marked “GALLAGER’S PATENT / JULY 17TH 1860?, “MANUFACTD (Small D) BY / RICHARDSON & OVERMAN, / PHILADA. / 13954”. The inside of the cartridge box lid is marked “86”, found again on the right side of the lever assembly and hinge plate. Sights / Optics: The front sight is a blade dovetailed onto the barrel. The rear sight is a folding sight in a base that is screwed to the barrel. The rear sight has a wide “V”-notch on one arm and a taller arm which has a “V”-notch at the top and a circular aperture with “V”-notch at its bottom. The inside of the wood stock just under the chamber is marked "V". The stock is one-piece smooth walnut with straight wrist, straight comb, patchbox on the right side and steel carbine-style buttplate. The Gallager carbine is an American black powder breechloading rifle produced in the American Civil War. The weapon was designed by Mahlon J. Gallager, who licensed the design to Richardson and Overman of Philadelphia for production. On 31 August 1861 the first weapons were sold to the U.S. Army, eventually reaching a total of 17,782 The Gallager was loaded from the rear with brass cases, which contained the projectile and the propellant. Covered by a disc made of greased felt, the projectile was inserted in the barrel after it was tilted up by a lever, followed by the case, and (like the concurrent muzzleloaders, such as the Springfield) were ignited by percussion cap, which was placed on the bolt face. The brass cases had a paper patch in the base, to prevent powder seepage and still allow the cap to fire the round.
