Fresh to the market. This is the only Richmond marked example of the English percussion carbine I have ever heard of. I would have done a cartwheel when I found it at the Ohio Gun Collectors Show, but I swore off cartwheels a couple years ago.
VG Overall. Barrel stamped Richmond, VA 1862 just like on the Richmond Sharps carbines, and utilizing that same Robinson die. Barrel also stamped with a small C and large S. It is known that S.C. Robinson contracted to retrofit numerous guns for the Confederacy. He obviously upgraded some of these Tower Enfield carbines as well. This one shows previous service in the British Canadian Artillery based on the butt plate stampings (RCH = Royal Canadian Horse Artillery). 100% original, 100% complete mechanically perfect. Absolutely genuine. Robinson upgraded the sights on this gun. Only known specimen so marked unless you know of another. If you collect weapons pertaining to The English Connection this carbine is the rarest piece in that pile.

As with all my items No Reserve.
