RARE Antique SHARPS-BORCHARDT Model 1878 .45-70 GOVT MILITARY Rifle Falling Block Single Shot “Military” Model!
Description: RARE Antique SHARPS-BORCHARDT Model 1878 .45-70 GOVT MILITARY Rifle Falling Block Single Shot “Military” Model! Here we present an antique Sharps Model 1878 Borchardt Single Shot “Military” Model Rifle manufactured between 1878 and 1881 in Hartford, Connecticut. The Sharps-Borchardt Model 1878 is a single shot hammerless falling block action rifle. It was designed by Hugo Borchardt and made by the Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company. It closely resembles older Sharps Rifles but has a firing mechanism that uses a hammerless striker rather than a hammer. This hammerless dropping-block breech-loader was based on a patent granted to Hugo Borchardt in 1877. It was the last of the Sharps single-shot rifles. According to company records 22,500 rifles were made in all models. That included the Carbine, Military, Short Range, Mid-Range, Long Range, Hunter, Business, Sporting, and Express from 1877 until the Sharps Rifle Co. closed in 1881. Approximately 10,000 of the “Military” models were produced. Even with its lack of commercial success, the Sharps-Borchardt is admired for its strength. Its action is considered one of the strongest rifle actions ever built before the end of the 19th century. The Military Model was purchased by the militias of the states of Michigan, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. The overall condition is fine. The action is as strong as ever. The bore is shiny bright with nice rifling. A few handling marks on the stock, but remarkably smooth and solid overall. This is a very nicely refinished rifle that is a true looker! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 32-1/8 inches. Caliber: .45-70 GOVT Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $3850 #20409 SOLD Antique: Yes |
