Description:
Serial #96612, 22? barrel with a very good bore that has some patches of dark freckling towards the chamber mouth. This is a very nice Civil War carbine that has matching numbers on the frame and barrel. The metal has an overall lightly mottled plum-brown patina mixed with mild dark brown freckling throughout. The breechblock and lever have an old but still bright reblued finish mixed with light freckling and a new nipple has been installed. The walnut forend and buttstock have an added military oil finish over scattered minor handling marks and blemishes and the inspector cartouches are visible but illegible on the left side of the wrist. Some further hairline with-the-grain cracks are present on the wrist and there is a chip missing from the left side at the base of the top tang. The action is tight and functions flawlessly. This is a great looking, U.S. inspected, Civil War Sharps and would make a great addition to any collection. Antique
