1860s CIVIL WAR /WILD WEST Antique SHARPS New Model 1859 PERCUSSION Rifle
U.S. MILITARY Pattern Rifle & LEATHER SLING
Here we present an antique Sharps New Model 1859 Rifle, made circa 1859-63 in Hartford, Connecticut. Some of these were converted to .52 Sharps Rimfire circa 1867 for use in the West by the federal government. Over 100,000 Sharps rifles and carbines were purchased and used by the federal government during the American Civil War.
This is one of the iconic rifles of Western lore, as they were handy, accurate, powerful and reliable guns, and many went to the Western Frontier as trappers, explorers and settlers moved that way. They experienced some of the most exciting times in American history during the Indian Wars, the settling of the West, and the connecting of the coasts with the Transcontinental Railroad.
This example is a true relic. Original dark patina. The forend is a replacement. The stock shows use with stable separation beside the upper tang. The bore is smooth and dark. The sling is good. The action is strong.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 30 inches.
Caliber: .54 Percussion
