Description:
This is a Civil War-era Poultney & Trimble Smith Carbine, chambered for .50 Cal. This antique example is a single shot breechloading break-action percussion carbine.
The left rear of the barrel is marked “LFR”. The bottom of the barrel is marked with the serial number, “9169”. The bottom of the receiver is marked with the serial number as well, “91 / 69”. The left side of the receiver is marked “SMITH’S PATENT / JUNE 23. 1857”. The side plate is marked with “ADDRESS / POULTNEY & TRIMBLE / BALTIMORE. U.S.A.”. The left of the wrist shows a cartouche, which appears to be “LFR”.
The front sight is a blade in a slotted base dovetailed into the front of the barrel. The rear sight is a folding ladder sight. When the ladder is folded down, a “V” notched battle sight is presented. When the ladder is folded up, there is a “V” notch on the slider. The slider is frozen in place.
The stocks are two piece smooth walnut with banded forend, straight grip, straight comb, and steel carbine-style s-shaped buttplate. There is a crack on the right side of the grip.
