Original U.S. Civil War Joslyn Firearms Co. M1864 Saddle Ring Carbine - Service Worn Condition French Helmets the left side of theOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a real find, and is one of only a few Joslyn System carbines that we have had over 30 or so years. It is however definitely "service worn" condition, and looks to have seen extensive service during the U. S. Civil war and long after. This has worn the stock in many areas from cleaning, and the metalwork has a peppered look, with the active rust now cleaned away. This has removed a good deal of the markings,
