Description:
EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION SHARPS NEW MODEL 1859 .50-70 CONVERSION INDIAN WARS SADDLE RING CARBINE, these interesting and very historical arms first went through the Civil War as percussion cavalry carbines and then in 1867-68 were returned to Sharps for refurbishing and the easy conversion to metallic cartridge and re-issued to the cavalry for western use in the Indian Wars. This is one of the best ones I've seen in a long time, the barrel retains nearly all the original deep blue finish that is only showing light age, clear "New Model 1859" barrel marking, original Lawrence ladder sight, receiver shows good deep case color being more vivid in the more protected areas- especially on the rear of the lock plate and around the hammer, cartridge loading well on top and in front of the breech block on both sides of the receiver, etc., even the butt plate retains nice light case color! fine+ wood shows only light handling/dings, tight wood to metal fit with no chips or cracks, sling ring intact, fine bright bore with some scattered light pitting mainly ahead of the chamber- minor, correct three groove rifling, tight action, really a superior example of a very historical arm.
