Description:
Serial #9042, .52 RF, 24” barrel with a very good bore that has spots of mild freckling within the grooves. This carbine retains 95-97% of the original leather barrel jacket that has cracked and flaked along the bottom tabs, but is still otherwise intact and in excellent condition. The metal has an overall mottled pewter gray patina with scattered areas of freckling and some pinprick pitting, heaviest at the tip of the lower tang. The walnut buttstock has an old added varnish over rather good wood with a few light-moderate bruises and blemishes on both sides below the comb. There is no cartouche visible on the left side of the wrist. This is a very good-fine Sharps & Hankins Naval Carbine overall, and has an unusually fine leather barrel jacket. Antique
