Provenance: The Pattern 1847 Paget percussion carbine came into being due to the requirement to provide percussion arms for the Yeomanry and to make use of large quantities of parts in store for the old Paget flintlock carbine. Whilst some old flintlock Paget's were converted to percussion research indicates that most of the percussion Paget's were made up as new, out of old parts
