S.C. Robinson Confederate Sharps Style Saddle Ring Carbine Copy in .69 Caliber **Mfg 1862 - Antique**
Description: For consideration is a historical Confederate S.C. Robinson Sharps saddle ring carbine. During the Civil War, the Confederacy was perpetually in serious need of armaments, as the South did not have the amount of industrial infrastructure that the North did. This led to many attempts at arms production by various entrepreneurs, of quite varied result. One of the more successful enterprises was the Robinson Arms Manufactory, founded in Richmond VA in December of 1862. Samuel Robinson was a transplanted Connecticut industrialist who proved himself capable and reliable for the CSA government with a series of contracts to convert flintlock muskets to percussion ignition. Probably because of this, it was he that the CSA’s Colonel Burton turned to to set up production of a copy of the Sharps carbine for Confederate cavalry use. Robinson produced about 1900 of these carbines between December 1862 and March of 1863. This particular example has obvious honest wear on both the wood and metal components. The stock has various cracks and chips with the most serious being at the wrist of the stock in the area above the trigger. Metal components have worn to a handsome warm grey patina. The barrel band and crescent style butt plate are brass. Mechanically everything works as it should. The front sight is missing. The saddle ring is intact on it's keeper. This rifle would make a great addition to a collection of Civil War arms and militaria....it would make a strong addition to a well appointed man cave.
