  Your Starr "Capping Carbine" was only made during the American Civil War (1862 - 1865) in limited numbers.
  
  "Flayderman's Guide" gives the figure of 20,601 total. It was supposed to have been issued to a number of Union Cavalry Regiments who participated in the Western campaigns.
  
  Since it's been over 135 years, it's not likely any original buttstocks are still in existence.
  
  Flayderman values them between $925 & $2,400. Depending on condition.
