Description:
ORIGINAL 1859 SHARPS MARTIAL BRASS MOUNTED CARBINE. THE QUINTESSENTIAL EARLY CIVIL WAR SHARPS CAVALRY CARBINE. SERIAL NO.34803. ONE OF MAYBE 5000 PRODUCED IN THE RANGE 0F 30000-36000. 1600 WERE PURCHASED BY THE STATE OF GEORGIA JUST BEFORE THE WAR STARTED. THIS EXAMPLE HAS INSPECTION MARKS ON LEFT SIDE OF BARREL AT BREECH, ALONG WITH THREE INITIALS ON FLAT OF FOREARM NEAR BREECH. FOR WHATEVER REASON, CARTOUCHES BY SADDLEBAR WERE NEVER APPLIED. THIS IS ONE OF THE SHARPEST BRASS MOUNTED CARBINES I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE UNTOUCHED,UNSANDED ORIGINAL WOOD IS SUPER CONDITION. WOOD TO METAL FIT IS EXCELLENT. THE METAL IS VOID OF ANY FINISH. VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED AS SUCH AS THERE ISN'T ANY FINISH EVEN UNDER THE FOREARM. THE MARKINGS ARE SUPER SHARP. I HAVE SEEN ALL EARLIER SHARPS CARBINES FINISHED BLUE, BROWN AND WHITE. ANY WAY, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE. ACTION IS FINE . SIGHTS ARE ORIGINAL. BORE IS BRIGHT AND SHINEY. NOT TOO MANY CRISPIER 1859 BRASS CARBINES AVAILABLE TODAY. I'VE COLLECTED THESE FOR 57 YEARS. PLEASE CALL 973-214-3407 WITH QUESTIONS. THANKYOU
