A superb example of the Cook & Brother Cavalry Carbine from their 1864 production at Athens, Georgia.  It is serial number 5107 and is completely intact.  The barrel and lock have a light brown patination with the twist clearly showing through on the barrel.  The lock is marked Cook & Brother, Athens, GA. 1864 in front of the hammer with the 1st National Flag behind the hammer.  The barrel has the same markings which are still clear behind the rear sight.  The serial number is found on the lock, barrel, barrel bands, nose cap, lock screws, etc. and are all matching except for the tang screw.   It is numbered and in the 5,000 range but it looks like the numbers are inverted.  The stock is very nice with no repairs, no replaced wood and appears to be made from cherry rather than walnut.  It has a distinctive, dark reddish hue, which is probably a good example of Cook's using cherry wood instead of walnut from time to time.  The bore has some rust in it but the rifling is clear and distinct.  Both the barrel and lock show the lamination flaws and forging occlusions indicative of the low quality metal Cook & Brother were forced to work with during the war.  This variation is fitted with the swivel ramrod., carbine bar and ring  which is very difficult to find.  SOLD!!
