SHARPS NEW MOD. 1859 .52 CAL. PERC. CIVIL WAR 3-BAND MILITARY RIFLE , U.S. ARMY CONTACT WITH SABER BAYONET LUG
Description: SHARPS NEW MODEL 1859 .52 CALIBER PERCUSSION CIVIL WAR 3-BAND MILITARY RIFLE , U.S. ARMY CONTACT WITH SABER BAYONET LUG. This is a fairly early serial number rifle, #39XXX, that no doubt saw service throughout the entire Civil War as the New Model 1859 was later replaced with the New Model 1863 percussion rifle and carbine. According to Flayderman's Guide to Antique American Firearms, only 1500 of these rifles were made fitted for a saber bayonet on the Army contract (and 2800 for the Navy contract- which this one is not). This is a fine, uncleaned example that displays excellent lock plate, receiver and barrel markings, including the New Model 1859 marking on the top rear of the barrel. Regains the Lawrence 1859 patented, and clearly marked, ladder rear sight with slide intact. The barrel is mainly a deep aged brown patina with a silvered receiver. Stock and forend are fine and show only normal light handling with no abuse and tight wood to metal fit. Has the correct iron patchbox in the stock and two sling swivels intact. The six groove bore is bright excellent and retains sharp rifling all the way through! Tight action and a most attractive uncleaned appearance. A scarce Civil War weapon and many times more rare than the more common Carbine version. SOLD Antique: Yes Manufacturer: SHARPS Model: NEW MODEL 1859 RIFLE Serial Number: 39XXX Barrel Length: 30 Condition: VG+ Bore Condition: EXCELLENT |
