I have saved this Carbine to use as my 100th Post. My dear wife of almost 60 years gave it to me in 1985 as a gift on our 28th Anniversary. It is my Treasure.

The butt stock is covered with carved names of battles, locations and Generals names. Hopefully they are readable.

The stock wrist and lower front wood are very modified. Trooper Green must have spent most of his off duty time whittling away. The attached Museum tag notes that Greens nephew, W. P. Colley sent the Carbine to HAC.

My wife purchased this Carbine at a Baltimore Gun Show that a group of fellow collectors from Houston attended. The seller was a US Govt employee ( read CIA Analyst ) who brought it back. I ever found out how he obtained it.
Thanks to all Forum Members for the pure pleasure this site brings to me.
