Description:
1859 SHARPS BERDAN SHARPSHOOTERS CIVIL WAR RIFLE. SERIAL #56749. 52 CAL. 30" BARREL. DOUBLE SET TRIGGERS. THIS RIFLE IS ONE OF ONLY A COUPLE I HAVE EVER SEEN WITH A SAMUEL LEONARD (S.L.) CARTOUCHE. AINSWORTH INSPECTION ON LEFT SIDE OF BARREL AT BREECH. THIS RIFLE WAS THERE!!! NO ORIGINAL FINISH. STOCK HAS RECESSED CARVINGS ON RIGHT SIDE. MIDDLE ONE IS MOST LIKELY THIRD CORPS SYMBOL. LEFT SIDE OF STOCK IS RECESSED IN SHAPE OF SCHIELD OF SOME SORT, MEANING LOST TO THE AGES. THERE IS ALSO A NAME ON LEFT WRIST AREA, WHICH I CAN'T MAKE OUT. ORIGINAL REAR SIGHT. FRONT OF BARREL HAS TWO DOVETAILS CUT FOR SOME SORT OF DIFFERENT GLOBE OR ADJUSTABLE FRONT SIGHT. COULD ALSO HAVE BEEN FOR A TELESCOPIC SIGHT. REMEMBER, THESE ELITE MEMBERS OF BERDAN'S SHARPSHOOTERS WERE IN FACT JUST THAT, SHARPSHOOTERS. DIFFERENT SIGHTS WERE NOT UNCOMMON FOR THESE MEN TO CHANGE FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OR DESIRES. WHATEVER SIGHTS WERE THERE ARE NOW LONG GONE. BORE HAS GOOD RIFLING, BUT DARK, AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, FOR ALL THE SHOTS AT JOHNNY REB. GUN HAS A GREAT OVERALL LOOK FOR A BERDAN THAT WAS MOST LIKELY AT ANTIETAM AND GETTYSBURG AND ALL OTHER BATTLES THAT BERDAN ENGAGED IN. PRICED VERY FAIRLY FOR A BERDAN THAT YOU CAN STILL SEE THE CARTOUCHE. PLEASE CALL 973-214-3407 WITH QUESTIONS. THANKYOU
