A .50 (RIMFIRE) PALMER PATENT BOLT-ACTION CAVALRY CARBINE by E.G. Lamson & Co., Windsor, VT, dated '1865', with 20in. blued sighted barrel marked 'W. Palmer / Patent / Dec. 22, 1863.' at the breech, blued signed and dated lock, walnut half-stock (some cracks and repairs), blued iron mounts including single barrel band, and saddle-bar with suspension ring (iron parts re-coloured). Footnote: The Palmer has the distinction of being the first bolt-action metallic cartridge arm accepted for U.S. issue. The bolt operates on an interrupted thread and the hammer directly strikes the rim of the cartridge. Due to the Government changing the calibre to the new .50 Spencer cartridge from .44 rimfire the contract was delayed and subsequently not delivered until after the end of hostilities. It is thought that approximately 1,000 carbines were produced at a cost of $20.50 each.
