Description:
High cond very desirable model 1874 Sharps! The stamping on the bbl says " Mid Range". Also has "Old Reliable" and the Sharps bbl address. Cal is Sharps 40-70 bottleneck. Serial range is 157k. Condition of this gun is exceptional. Most blue remains on the bbl. Light wear to the high points. Clean smooth metal with good markings. The frame is a grey color which is what case colors tend to do. This gun is equipped with the Vernier tang sight and a globe front sight. Medium weight bbl with a near excellent bore. Wood is also VG+ with just a few usage marks. No visible cracks. The only loss is a tiny chip on the toe. Buttplate is the signature brass crescent style. Looks almost like a Swiss style buttplate. On the top of the stock is a plate where there was once another sight. Plate has been factory inletted as stated in the letter. Yes! We have a Sharps letter that is very interesting and informative and accompanies the gun! Another plus is the leather case that comes with it. Very rarely do you see any old leather from yesteryear that survived as well as this one. VG cond with some age cracking. Stiching is good but has let go where the butt would be. Everything is present. Has a leather strap that would go on the built in eyes on the case and would have been used as a carrying strap. This 1874 Sharps with the Sharps Letter and the case is a very nice outfit!
