RARE 1 of 500 CIVIL WAR Antique SHARPS & HANKINS Model 1862 ARMY Carbine
.50 Rimfire, 19” Barrel, Saddle Ring
Here Ancestry Guns presents an antique Sharps and Hankins Model 1862 Army Carbine manufactured circa 1864 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is an extremely scarce carbine with only 500 of the “Army” variants produced, with only 200 reportedly ordered by the U.S. Army. Sharps & Hankins produced three variants of their carbine, those being the Navy, the Army, and the Short Cavalry. The Sharps & Hankins 1862 Army Carbine is one of the scarcest Civil War carbines encountered.
The shape of the carbine is distinctly Sharps and operates a bit differently than other carbines of the era. The trigger guard doubles as a lever, which is opened by pressing a small tab inside the smaller loop of the lever. Opening the lever slides the barrel away from the recoil shield for loading and unloading. It has a great elevating rear sight and brass butt-plate.
The Army and Navy versions both had a 24-inch barrel with the Navy coming with a leather cover to protect the barrel from salt water. The Army version's barrel was blued. The Short Cavalry version had a 19-inch blued barrel.
The overall condition is fine. Original blue finish remains with a gray patina on the barrel. The stock has been nicely refinished. The bore is in good condition and contains strong rifling. Robust action.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 24 inches.
