RARE Antique Civil War Sharps & Hankins Navy Carbine with Well Preserved Leather Cover
Description: Antique Civil War Sharps & Hankins Model 1862 Navy Carbine One of 6,686 Purchased by Navy During Civil War Here we present an antique Sharps & Hankins Model 1862 Navy Carbine. Made from 1862-65, the total production of the Navy Carbine was only 6,686, making this quite a scarce representative of a Civil War long arm. These carbines saw extensive service aboard various vessels during the American Civil War. Being that they were intended for use on the water, the Navy carbine was factory fitted with a very tight leather cover to prevent corrosion on the barrel. The shape of the carbine is distinctly Sharps, and operates a bit differently than other carbines of the era. The trigger guard doubles as a lever, which is opened by pressing a small tab inside the smaller loop of the lever. Opening the lever slides the barrel away from the recoil shield for loading and unloading. Great elevating rear sight and brass butt-plate. This specimen is in very good condition. Most of the leather cover remains, which is a feat, given its 150 year age and the extensive use that it saw. Metal is smooth, markings are crisp, bore is in good condition and the action is excellent. Numbers match. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is round and 24 inches in length. Caliber: .52 rimfire Bore is rifled and good condition and the firearm is in fine working order. Overall condition as seen in photos. Make this scarce Civil War Navy carbine a part of your collection. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $3250 #10280 SOLD Antique: Yes |
