SHARPS NEW MODEL 1863 CARTRIDGE CONVERSION CARBINE.

SN C2671. 52-70 Cal. This Indian War era carbine is in excellent condition and is one of late Civil War model percussion carbines converted starting in 1867. Approximately 30,000 Sharps carbines of all configurations were converted after the Civil War of which only 1900 retained their original 6-groove barrels and had spring loaded firing pins installed and breech block converted. Guns were restocked and refinished as necessary at the armory. This gun appears to have retained its orig Civil War stocks with additional “DFC” in ribbon rework cartouche on left side in middle of buttstock. This gun shows a number of rare features. This is a nice example of an Indian Wars carbine, one of only 1900, that appears to have seen some use but not abused. CONDITION: Very fine overall. Bbl retains a thin plum/blue finish with traces of bright blue in protected areas with discernible “NEW MODEL 1863” behind rear sight and inspectors “HDH” on breech. Bbl address is only partially discernible from polish when arsenally refinished. Lock and frame retain about 20-30% muted case colors with balance a speckled gray/silver. Other case colored components have traces of finish with a mottled silver/gray color. Buttplate was taken from Model 1859 9with patchbox door cut-out) during arsenal conversion and buttplate has similar gray/silver patina with scattered staining and pitting. Stocks are sound and solid with residual Civil War era cartouches and a more discernible “DFC” cartouche. Stocks are refinished with thin varnish layer. Forestock has several large cuts and bruises on right side as can be seen in photos. Sub inspector’s letters are distinct and found on most parts. Mechanically gun is functional with crisp bright bore. 4-50460 JS328 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 3237
