ANY QUESTION WE CAN BE CONTACTED VIA E MAIL Description: Civil War era Smith Carbine, manufactured by American Machine Works and distributed by Poultney & Trimble. The Smith Carbine was a .50 caliber percussion breech-loading cavalry arm patented by Gilbert Smith and widely issued to Union cavalry units during the American Civil War.

Historical Notes: Smith carbines were issued to numerous Union cavalry units including the 1st Massachusetts Cavalry, 7th Illinois Cavalry, and 3rd West Virginia Cavalry, among others. The innovative break-action design used rubber cartridges to seal the breech and was considered one of the stronger and more reliable cavalry carbines of the war.
