SCARCE Antique AMERICAN CIVIL WAR SHARPS & HANKINS Model 1862 NAVY Carbine One of 6,686 Purchased by the Navy During the Civil War
Description: SCARCE Antique AMERICAN CIVIL WAR SHARPS & HANKINS Model 1862 NAVY Carbine One of 6,686 Purchased by the Navy During the Civil War Here we present an antique Sharps & Hankins Model 1862 Navy Carbine. Made from 1862-65, the total production of the Navy Carbine was only 6,686, making this quite a scarce representative of a Civil War long arm. These carbines are believed to have seen extensive service aboard various vessels during the American Civil War. Being that they were intended for use on the water, the Navy carbine was factory fitted with a very tight leather cover to prevent corrosion on the barrel, most of which have long disintegrated. The shape of the carbine is distinctly Sharps (much like their pepperboxes) 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. Great elevating rear sight and brass butt-plate. The leather jacket has long since been removed. The overall condition is good. The action is strong. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. The leather sling is in good shape. “SHARPS PATENT/1859” is on the left receiver. “SHARPS & HANKINS/PHILADA” is on the right side of the receiver. This example has seen its fair share of action in some form or another! If only it could talk and tell us those stories! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 24 inches. Caliber: .52 Rimfire 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 $1675 #20184 SOLD Antique: Yes |
