Civil War US Smith .50 cal. breech-loading Percussion Carbine

Antique Smith Percussion Carbine made by American Machine Works out of Springfield, Massachusetts. 21-1/2" round barrel, .50 caliber bore, 3-groove rifling, blade front sight, and military volley type rear sight. Plain, walnut stock and forearm with saddle ring and military-style buttplate. CONDITION: Excellent overall with almost all of the original blue remaining. The receiver has faded to a dull-grey patina. Consistent light freckling throughout from storage. Hammer is missing and the tumbler is broken. Stocks are very good to excellent with almost all of the original finish remaining and scattered handling marks. Cartouche is crisp, reading "JH." Action works correctly and locks tightly.
Bore is brilliantly shiny with sharp lands and grooves. Overall an excellent example of a Smith carbine that would fit perfectly in any Civil War Martial carbine collection.
