Nepalese SHARPS Model 1853 Style SLANT BREECH Three Band Percussion Rifle
Very Similar to the SHARPS M1853 Slant Breech Rifle
Here we present an antique Nepalese Sharps Model 1853 Slant Breech Percussion Rifle, made circa the 1850s in Nepal. The original Sharps Model 1853Slant Breech had a production run between 1854 and 1859 in Hartford, Connecticut. The carbine version of the Sharps Model 1853 is known for their iconic role in the abolitionist movement, both in the hands of John Brown during his raid of Harper’s Ferry Arsenal, as well as those of abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher, who said of the Sharps “that there was more moral power in those instruments, so far as the slaveholders of Kansas were concerned, than in 100 Bibles”. 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.
From hunting buffalo to battles between European Americans and Native Americans, the Sharps made a name for itself as a rugged, powerful and accurate long arm for the rest of the 19th century.
