CONFEDERATE SHARPS CARBINE.

CONFEDERATE SHARPS CARBINE. SN 2370. Cal. 52. This is an exceptionally nice Confederate Sharps with sharp edges and crisp markings. SN is found on frame, bbl, and lockplate. When forestock is removed to view SN, orig bright brown finish is visible in this protected area. Mr. Michel, in his notes, describes this gun as follows: “Sharps pattern carbines made after the takeover of S. C. Robinson’s carbine factory no longer carry the same markings found on the earlier production. The lockplates are stamped only with the serial number at the tail of the lockplate. The top of the barrel is stamped only ‘Richmond Va’ behind the rear sight”. You are bidding on one of the finest Confederate Sharps carbines to market in many years. It would be difficult to upgrade this particular example. CONDITION: Metal is cleaned with sharp edges. Bbl has several areas of pitting. Breech and frame are smooth. SNs are well stamped. Richmond markings are clear and well stamped. Rifling in bore is very good. Wood is very good, still exhibiting raised grain. Several small dents are present on both forestock and buttstock. There is a 2-3″ hairline crack near bottom of buttplate which does not affect aesthetics. 4-31341 JS118 (15,000-20,000)
