Civil War American Machine~ Smith's Breech Loading~ Saddle Ring Carbine ~ .50 Cal.-OBO
Description:
This is a very fine example of a Poultney & Trimble Smith's Saddle Ring Carbine made by American Machine Works from the Civil War era. The Smith Carbine was a 0.50 caliber breech-loading rifle patented by Gilbert Smith on June 23, 1857 and successfully completed the military trials of the late 1850s. It was used by various cavalry units during the American Civil War. The Smith Carbine was unique in that it broke apart in the middle for loading, and it used rubber cartridges which sealed the gases in the breech. Poultney & Trimble out of Baltimore was the name of the distributor for the manufacturers of these rifles.
The bluing is very good on the barrel.. There is some oxidation in a few spots on the barrel but still in very good condition overall. Case hardening shows some fading on the receiver and hammer. The receiver shows some areas of light pitting . Left side of receiver is marked Poultney & Trimble, with American Machine Works under the saddle ring assembly. Matching numbers throughout. Mint bore, hardly looks used. The barrel has a L.F.R. inspector marked, and there's also a "JH" cartouche on the stock. The Butt plate is stamped with a “P”. Carbine appears to be mechanically excellent.
