Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: ATTIC CONDITION SHARPS NEW MODEL 1863 .50-70 SADDLE RING CARBINE, this one looks like it was left in storage for the last 125 years! Uncleaned and unmessed with, all correct and original with only the slide on the original ladder Lawrence rear sight missing (easily replaced), overall uncleaned metal is a deep plum/blue on the barrel and mainly a deep untouched brown on the rest of the metal that has a few light  scattered and small patches of surface rust that I have not attempted to remove- all very minor, good Sharps markings on the receiver and serial number on the tang intact, wood shows normal use and handling, but not chipped or cracked, tight action, bore should clean bright and about excellent, sling ring intact with ring only removed (again, easily replaced), these are truly wonderful historic arms that first saw hard service through the Civil War and then were converted to .50-70 cartridge and re-issued for the Indian Wars, later most were sold as surplus and went West with settlers and frontiersmen! Very hard to find these days in this kind of condition where nobody has tried to clean or "improve" it!
