SCSharps.jpg (84141 bytes) S. C. Robinson Confederate Sharps Carbine.  Serial #376 with strong "S.C. ROBINSON ARMS MANUFACTORY" and "RICHMOND,VA 1862" barrel markings.  Brass barrel band and butt plate, primer free receiver and all of the correct features you'd expect.  A real beauty.  Call or email for more details. $ 22,000
LeechRigdonSide.jpg (2146 bytes) Leech & Rigdon Navy.  Nice, genuine, Confederate contract revolver made in Greensboro, Georgia in 1863.  It has the "LEECH & RIGDON CSA" top-stamp, ball and pin loading lever catch, and lack of safety pins, all in the correct  serial number range (#1116) for that configuration.  Loading lever pivot screw has been replaced during the period by a peened rivet (a classic Confederate make-do repair), and the wedge screw appears to be a replacement.  The backstrap and trigger guard's second serial numbers are both struck too deep.  Inspector's initials in correct locations.  This piece is absolutely correct in every detail and comes with a full guarantee.    $ SOLD
MetroNavyThumb.jpg (27639 bytes) Metropolitan Navy Model Revolver.  An exact twin to the Colt Navy and made after Colt's patent ran out.  One of about 6,000 made, this one in 1864 (s/n 2840, all matching).  Metal shows use (dings around the wedge) but there is no pitting.  The action is tight, but the cylinder and loading lever are loose. Grips are good with a chunk broken out of the right grip's toe . A very good and solid secondary Civil War arm and far rarer than its Colt progenitor.   $ 1500

Sharps96606Thumb.jpg (32393 bytes) Sharps New Model 1863. Mid-war serial number 96606 saddle-ring carbine in all original condition.

SpencerThumb.jpg (36958 bytes) Spencer Civil War carbine, .52 caliber rimfire, 22” barrel, 6-groove rifling, serial #19099.  This is one of the prettiest I've ever seen due to a well done restoration.  The metal is a gorgeous even brown.  The address on breech is sharp and clear.
