RARE VARIATION OF A CONFEDERATE SHARP’S CARBINE, GOVERNMENT MODEL.

RARE VARIATION OF A CONFEDERATE SHARP’S CARBINE, GOVERNMENT MODEL. SN. 2628, visible on lock and tang. This gun features a rare variation in the lever lock. A screw is used instead of a lever pin in the breech block, only three carbines have been found with this variation noted. “Richmond, VA” is marked on the top. Note: The brass retainer on the foreend is correct. In fact, the example illustrated in Dr. Murphy’s book, which does not have a brass retainer, is now known to be incorrect.
