Original Irish Percussion Cavalry Carbine by W. & J Rigby of Dublin with Captured Ramrod & Twist Forged Barrel - circa 1840 Manufacture Type_Original Items Indian Wars and Civil WarOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very interesting Irish Percussion cavalry carbine, marked on the lock plate by maker W. & J. RIGBY, with a faint DUBLIN stamping on the barrel. There are no military markings, so it is most likely a commercial or colonial service produced weapon. It features a 22 inch long twist forged barrel, which was made with a . 65" rifled bore, since smooth bored possibly for Colonial use. All brass classic mounts,
