Sharps rifle. My loss is your gain . This is hands down a virtually mint 1863 sharps rifle. All markings are extremley crisp. The bareel retains 99% blue & 99% case coloring throughout/ The cartouches are mint.The stock & forearm still have the raised grain. UNFIRED. Obviouly this naever saw the heat of battle. At the end of the civil war these guuns were sold off as surplus, which is why you see many minty carbines but very few rifles. This gun was in a collection for the last 6 yrs ,I recnntly sold it to a friend of mine who was delighted with it. He took it apart & every part was origial & correct, except for the barrel. I never checked but the serial # on the underside of the barrel is different from the reciever. I have no explanation for this & i am sure it was done when surplused out; Whith the exception of the barrel this gun is 100% original. The barrel is original but numbered differently. This is un questionably one the best sharps rifles in existance. percussion. If not for the barrel it would be priced at $17 to $20,000.00
