I believe this particular carbine is often referred to as the 5th Model among collectors and is a single shot design. It was crafted by the Burnside Rifle Company based in Providence, Rhode Island. One of the defining characteristics of this model is the inclusion of a chamber guide screw located in the middle of the receiver's right side. Over 40,000 of these carbines were made and delivered. It features a percussion carbine caliber of 54 and comes with a blade front sight and a folding leaf rear sight. The receiver is imprinted with "BURNSIDE PATENT / MODEL OF 1864 #14231" while the left side has a saddle ring and bar. The walnut forearm and straight grip stock are secured by a band and topped off with a case colored steel butt-plate. Condition-wise, this is a fantastic carbine with slight muzzle wear and a worn finish on the stocks, along with some scattered scratches and dents.
The bore on this gun has not been cleaned. However, a small amount of wax was placed just inside the rifle to avoid any possible rusting due to the rifle being displayed in our surplus store for many many years. Our store is cooled via swamp cooler and damage to the firearms on display has been kept to a minimum.
This collector item was in a personal collection for over 40 years before the gentleman brought it to my father to purchase who had to liquidate it for health reasons. My father in turn has owned it for another 15+ years and proudly displayed the items in his surplus store.
