This is an original, Civil War Smith Cavalry Carbine manufactured by the Massachusetts Arms Company of Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. Over 30,000 Smith Carbines were produced from 1861-1865 with the vast majority going to the U.S. Government. Cavalry units known to have been issued the Smith were the 3rd West Virginia, the 7th and 11th Illinois, the 1st Connecticut, the 7th and 17th Pennsylvania, the 6th and 9th Ohio, and the 1st Massachusetts. The Smith was a breech loading, percussion arm of .50 caliber. This carbine is in antique excellent condition with about 98% of its factory blued and cased color finishes remaining. There is some light finish loss on the barrel band. The frame, hammer, and butt plate have all of the cased color. The bore and mechanics are excellent. The stock is excellent, as well, with a few tiny dings and scratches from storage. There is a crisp inspector's cartouche on the left side of the wrist. This is a superb example of the Smith cavalry carbine. Stock no. 32250
