Description:
****SOLD**** Here we have an honest historical Sharps New Model 1859 Carbine chambered in .52 caliber. This popular Civil War carbine in .52 caliber fired a linen cartridge by either disc primer or percussion cap. It was manufactured by Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The breechblock drops down to open the chamber on lowering the trigger guard lever. Early model Sharps carbines are brass trimmed and later models are iron trimmed. The principal single-shot carbines of the Civil War were "NEW MODEL 1859" and "NEW MODEL 1863". The only noticeable difference is that many New Model 1859's, but not all, have patch boxes. This particular example has seen some action. The metal finish has worn to a handsome grey patina and the wood has taken on that aged look. The stock and forend have some cracks and one repair of the wrist on the left side. Inspector marks above and below sling bar on left side. This handsome and historical piece would make a great addition to a collection of US Civil War militaria or a strong way to start a new collection.
