The Confederate "Sharps" cavalry carbine - the S. C. Robinson percussion breech loading carbine

The Confederate manufactured Sharps percussion breech loading carbines were manufactured by S. C. Robinson in Richmond. They were illegal copies of the famous Sharps Model 1859 carbines. They are extremely rare collectors items, that's why we are happy that Pedersoli is offering their faithful reproduction to the shooters. History and modern time shooting the Capandball way!
