Sinclair, Hamilton & Company was a major arms dealer in Britain, and one of the two principle arms suppliers of the Confederacy during the American Civil War. The firm was established by Archibald Hamilton and his brother Robert in 1854 as a family business. During the war the firm often worked in conjunction with S. Isaac, Campbell & Company, the other primary supplier to the Confederate war effort. Both of these firms worked with Confederacy purchasing agents, Majors Caleb Huse and James Bulloch, sent to Britain by Josiah Gorgas, chief of the Confederate States War Department, to acquire badly needed arms for the Confederacy. These firms acted as commissioned purchasing and financial agents, middlemen, with the various arms manufacturers in England.
