Description:
S O L D .......... This Sharps was originally manufactured in 1863-1865 as a percussion carbine for use in the Civil War, and was one of 31,098 carbines returned by the U.S. Government to Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Co. in 1867. They received a contract for refurbishment and alteration of their rifles for use with metallic cartridges. This is one of around 1,900 altered carbines with a spring loaded firing pin, and retains its original .52 caliber six-groove rifling, intended to fire the 50-70 centerfire round. Matching serial number "C,29773" marked underneath the barrel and on top of the receiver tang. "E.P.R" inspection initials marked on the left flat of the breech end of the barrel. Single letter inspection initials on various components. Script "DFC" (David F. Clark) ribbon inspection cartouche marked on the left center of the buttstock. Absent primer feed mechanism (does not affect function of the gun), as typical on these
Rating Definition: metallic cartridge conversion carbines.
Very fine-Minty, retains 85% arsenal refurbished blue finish on the barrel with some areas thinning to a smooth brown patina, and 90% plus vivid arsenal refurbished case colors with smooth gray patina and some patches of light freckling on the balance. Replacement front sight blade. Mirror bore... The wood is also very fine with distinct edges, a few light handling marks, and a crisp cartouche. Mechanically excellent.
