SHARPS NEW MODEL 1865 CONVERSION BUFFALO RIFLE WITH SHEARD MARKING.

SN 48385. Cal. 45-2-1/10 28” heavy round bbl, blue and case hardened finish with walnut stocks. CONDITION: Very good for a Western Buffalo rifle. Rifle retains plum gray finish overall with some roughness around rear sight. Receiver is silver. Lockplate shows 40% case colors. Set triggers function well. Bbl is marked “Old Reliable, Bridgeport, CT” and behind the rear sight is marked “From W. F. Sheard, Livingston, MONT.” Front sight is definitely an early Sheard design. Stocks are good with some gaps at frame. Forestock has blackened pommel wear. Nice example of an early Sharps Buffalo gun that definitely went west. 49468-2 TEP C&R (3,000-5,000) – Lot 1156
