Description:
SALE PENDING......serial #C, 35689, .54 cal, 30'' six-groove barrel with a partially about good bore showing moderate overall oxidation and strong rifling throughout. The barrel of this rifle has mostly toned to a deep plum-brown patina showing some overall fine scratches, a few light dings and some remnants of old minor pitting. The barrel bands are similar and the Sharps Rifle Co. markings and model designation have softened very slightly from the years and remain legible. The action shows a healthy amount of silvery case-hardened patina showing a few areas of light pitting around the edges, some brown speckling and a few wisps of vibrant colors in the protected areas around the hammer. The buttplate and patchbox are a dark brown patina, the inside of the cover showing some smoky case-hardening and arsenal punch mark. All markings on the action remain intact and strong and the major components show visible sub-inspector stamps. The smooth walnut buttstock and forend remain in very good condition showing the expected overall dings and mild abrasions from military service, the buttstock with some scattered thin drying cracks and two small notches at the point of comb. The stocks otherwise maintain an honest appearance with very good metal-to-wood fit and the left side wrist with two ghostly remnants of inspector cartouches. The sling swivels, original sights and pellet primer hardware remain intact and the action seems to function well mechanically. A very respectable Sharps rifle for the U.S. martial collector.....2nd firearm ships FREE, with this one. Thanks...Greg a43-44, saved folder
