Description:
I bought this CS Sharps Carbine direct from the civil war relic expert Brian Akins. I can send more photos if desired to serious buyers. What follows is from his explaining the condition. "Confederate Richmond Sharps Carbine with Confederate Richmond Sharps Carbine with nice working action. This Confederate Richmond Sharps Carbine surfaced in North Carolina. The bore has rifling but is crusty. The Richmond Sharps Carbine is one of my favorite Confederate Weapons of the War. This Confederate Richmond Sharps Carbine is serial number 1994 on the tang. The lockplate is stamped "5419". My guess this carbine was sent back to the Richmond Factory for repairs. The 1994 serial number is an early Richmond Sharps production. The lock plate number is right at the end of known production. The pitting and wear are consistent with period usage. The stock has two-digit assembly numbers as does the breech block. Forearms were known to be damaged while firing. Maybe this Richmond Sharps had damage, sent back and a new forearm and lock plate replaced. No doubt 1994 would have been sent out and saw action. When I got this Richmond Sharps Carbine it needed a breech pin and a screw. I added both and they fit great. Rear Sling swivel is "M.I.A.". nice working action.
