Description:
SHARPS NEW MODEL 1863 UNALTERED .52 CAL. PERCUSSION CIVIL WAR CARBINE, #C9XXX. This is a particularly attractive "attic condition" example. The barrel retains the correct "New Model 1863" marking as well as the Sharps markings ahead of the original Lawrence ladder rear sight (slide intact). The barrel has naturally aged to mostly a pleasing uncleaned brown patina. Similarly, the receiver is an uncleaned mottled brown with fine markings. The action is crisp andonly the half-cock safety notch is weak. The lever catch is also intact. The bore is MINTY BRIGHT which is unusual on a percussion carbine. The stock is excellent, has never been cleaned and has a sharp inspector's cartouche behind the sling ring bar and another in the middle of the stock on the left side. the forend is also excellent and has the three initials inspector stamp on the flat ahead of the receiver (these usually worn away). In all a really fine example with an outstanding bore! Many of these are still shot today using either a paper cartridge or with a lubed bullet and loose black powder with a musket cap. Lots of history in this one as many went home with soldiers after serving in the Civil War. Many also went West with hunters and homesteaders. Priced about the same as a good U.S. made replica.
