The Civil War Smith Carbine is a unique firearm manufactured by the Massachusetts Arms Company during the mid-19th century. Designed for cavalry use, it features a distinctive breech-loading mechanism, making it faster to reload compared to muzzle-loading firearms of the era.

The Smith Carbine gained popularity among Union cavalry units due to its compact size, reliability, and the convenience of breech-loading technology. Its design and production played a significant role in the evolution of firearms during the American Civil War.
This particular Smith Carbine is able to cock and dry-fire as well as the hinged breech working as it should. The gun is original and has matching numbers all over. This is an excellent example of the famous Smith Carbine and would make a perfect addition to any collection.
