"During the first part of the Civil War the United States purchased a great quantity of these arms, and before their worthlessness became apparent a considerable number was issued. The calibre of most of them was .75; the rifling was very deep; the recoil and trajectory were abnormal, and accuracy of shooting was conspicuous by absence."--Sawyer, "Our Rifles." Page 235. 42. MOORISH SNAPHAUNCE GUN. L. 62-1/2" Captured from Riff tribesmen early in 1920. A fine specimen of its type, inlaid with ivory and showing native repair-work. This is a genuine snaphaunce, not to be confused with the Spanish or Moorish Miguelet or outside-lock flintlock. Rare. 43. SHARP & HANKINS CIVIL WAR CARBINE. L. 39" This is the Navy type, though the leather jacket is missing from the barrel. Rare. 44. VOLCANIC CARBINE. L. 35" The forerunner of the Henry and the Winchester.
