Description

Here's a handsome looking Sharps percussion carbine. It is a fairly rare variant - a M1859 built without a patchbox. Based on the serial number, this Sharps was produced in early 1863; after the pattern was updated to exclude the patchbox in the stock but before the "official" designation of "model 1863" was adopted. These transitional models were only made for a few months; making them quite rare compared both the M1859 and M1863 models. This Sharps is one of the few surviving guns that was left in its original percussion configuration and not converted after the war like most Sharps.

This particular Sharps is in great shape. All original from top to bottom, with a lot of original finish remaining and great crisp markings.

The lock functions flawlessly on both full and half cock. The lock plate stamps are all very crisp.

The block locks up nice and tight with no slop or play in the breech.

The barrel and bore are both in great shape. The rear sight is original and unmodified. The stamps on the barrel are still present and legible. The bore is good with strong rifling and some light scattered pitting.

The stocks are in beautiful shape with no cracks, chips, or dents. All the edges of both the butt stock and forend are nice and sharp.

All the hardware is original and matching no rust. No military rifle collection is complete without a Sharps and this carbine would be a great shooter and collector's item!
