This video explores the SC Robinson Confederate Sharps Carbine, a firearm produced during the American Civil War. Facing a shortage of armaments, the Confederacy relied on entrepreneurs like Samuel Robinson, who established the Robinson Arms Manufactory in Richmond, VA. Initially contracted to convert flintlock muskets, Robinson was tasked with producing a copy of the Sharps carbine for Confederate cavalry. Between December 1862 and March 1863, approximately 1900 carbines were made by Robinson. Impressed by his work, the Confederate government bought out his operation in March 1863, converting it into a government arsenal that continued producing Sharps carbines until the war's end, adding another 3500 units. The video details the distinguishing marks between Robinson's early production and later government-issued carbines, including serial number ranges and lock plate markings.
