RARE, CIVIL WAR Sharps NEW MODEL 1863 MILITARY RIFLE .52 Percussion Antique
1 of only 6,140 New Model 1863 Rifles Manufactured
Here we present an antique U.S. Sharps New Model 1863 Rifle, made circa 1863 in Hartford, Connecticut. The most famous, single-shot percussion firearm used during the Civil War was the Sharps carbine, a .52 caliber breech-loading firearm invented and patented by Hartford native Christian Sharps. Over 100,000 Sharps rifles and carbines were purchased and used by the federal government during the American Civil War; but only 6,140 New Model 1863 Rifles were produced.
These powerful, accurate and reliable rifles certainly saw history from a firsthand perspective during the conflicts leading up to the Civil War, the war itself, and beyond on the frontier.
The overall condition is very good. The action is strong. The bore is reflective and has sharp rifling. This example sports a solid stock with the kind of handling you would expect. The markings are legible. Here is a nice example of a rare Sharps rifle!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 30-1/8 inches.
Caliber: .52 Percussion
Overall condition as seen in photos.
