Description:
This is the mid-range No. 1 target rifle. There were only 66 of these produced. Cal 40-70, 30" part oct bbl, and a case hardened frame. Ample case colors remain that have dimmed somewhat but are still very visible. Nice smooth metal. Bbl also is in VG condition with all finish remaining. Blue is aging lightly. Has the Sharps Rifle Company markings on the bbl. Rear sight is the Lawrence ladder sight. Typical Sharps caliber marking "Calibre 40". Serial number is 156285 which is underneath the mid-range Vernier tang sight base. Bright shiny bore in near excellent condition. Wood is also exceptional. I don't believe this gun was used much more than a few shooting matches. Any Sharps 1874 is highly desirable and adding in the rare factor makes this a great investment Sharps!
