    Description

    This hammer is for a U.S. Model 1855 Pistol-Carbine.
    It is original, and is unfinished.
    The Springfield Model 1855 Pistol-Carbine was the last single shot pistol to be produced for the U.S. military. More than 4,000 were made. At the time, it was the smallest .58 caliber pistol used in the army. It was lighter because this pistol-carbine was built to use the newly designed Minie bullet. It also was useful because normal rifle musket caps could be used on this firearm.
    This pistol-carbine was intended to be used as a pistol on horseback and a carbine on foot.
