SC ROBINSON CONFEDERATE SHARPS CARBINE

SC ROBINSON CONFEDERATE SHARPS CARBINE. SN 148. Cal .52, Serial number “148”, 21-1/2″ bbl. This is a orig & authentic Confederate Sharps made & marked on lock & bbl “S.C. ROBINSON / ARMS MANUFACTORY / RICHMOND. VA / 1862”. This gun conforms to other known examples with serial number appearing externally on lock & frame. S.C. Robinson’s produced about 2,000 carbines which all saw hard use. There is a pair of initials “TW” carved in buttstock which were probably the Confederate Cavalryman’s initials who carried this gun. This is an honest Confederate carbine with clear markings that has that wonderful “as-found” Confederate look. Mechanically, gun functions well. CONDITION: Iron overall is dark & brown & pitted. If you move the front band forward there is still orig brown bbl finish as this gun has never been cleaned. Brass bbl band & buttplate have dark, rich patinas. The bottom 1″ toe of buttplate is broken off. Gun is missing rear sling swivel though base is still intact. Markings are very good & well-struck and easily read as can be seen in photos. Stocks are sound & solid with numerous dings, dents & scratches. Forestock is burned near breech but is still solid but will chip in that area if not handled properly. 4-45069 JS38 (7,000-9,000)
