You will on occasion walk up upon a minty Smith carbine at a gun or Civil War show but those are invariably late production guns that were made in 1865 and never were issued. This on the other hand is a fairly early production example that was made around November of 1863. This gun is in stunning mint unfired condition. The case hardening and blue is stunning on the gun and the cartouches are exceptional! You be hard pressed to find a gun this early in this exceptionally almost new condition. During the war these carbines were probably the 4th most common type used, but in modern times due to better components for the ammunition they are highly sought after and a very fine reproduction is even made as they have become easier to shoot and maintain. This very early example was found in Maryland near the Harpers Ferry area and may have been one of the rifles surplussed out and sold there immediately at the end of the war. As I said, you will not find a nicer early production example of this carbine.
