Description:
The Sharps-Borchardt Model 1878 is a single shot hammerless falling block action rifle designed by Hugo Borchardt and manufactured by the Sharps Rifle Company.  It closely resembles older Sharps Rifle but has firing mechanism that uses a hammerless striker rather than a hammer and firing pin like the old version.  It was the last of the Sharps single-shot rifles and one of approximately 10,000 produced in military form from 1878 until 1881 when Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company shut down.
The rifle offered for sale has been restocked with well figured Black Walnut, and professionally reconditioned.
