Civil War American Machine Works Smith Breech Loading Percussion Carbine

Approximately 30,000 were manufactured by the American Machine Works in Massachusetts from 1861 to 1865. Some of these carbines were issued to the 11th Illinois Cavalry who saw action at the Battle of Shiloh, arriving at Pittsburg Landing five days before the battle started. This carbine is in very fine condition with standard markings and features including "JH" cartouche on the left of the stock.

ConditionGood with mostly a smooth mostly gray patina overall with crisp markings. There is some very scattered areas of minor pitting. The lightly sanded and refinished wood is fair with a few scattered minor dings, three hairline cracks in the wrist, and a crisp cartouche. Mechanically excellent.
