Buttstock fits gun poorly and has numerous nicks, gouges, and scrapes. Series of 12 notches is carved in comb (poss confirmed kills?). Buttplate is a correct Richmond Sharps buttplate; however, it appears excavated and cleaned. Lever tension spring is replaced. Gas seal on orig Confederate breechblock is loose. Lower tang assembly fits buttstock well and is probably from a U. S. Sharps, as is buttstock.
