Sharps New Model Cartridge-Converted Carbine
serial #93729, 50-70, 22'' three-groove barrel with a mostly bright very good plus bore showing a few small areas of light oxidation and otherwise strong rifling throughout. The barrel has mostly toned to a pleasant deep gray-brown patina showing some scattered old surface oxidation and generous streaks of arsenal-refurbished blue in the more protected areas at the rear. The external barrel markings have been lost to the refurbishment though the rear sight retains strong patent markings. The action has mostly toned to a silvery gray case-hardened patina showing scattered oxidation speckling and a few light dings from the years. The patent markings along the action are partially intact and the firing pin and primer mechanism cover retain some flashes of bright fire blue. The smooth walnut buttstock and forend remain in about very good plus condition showing some older added antique varnish, mild abrasions and old dings from honest use. The original sights and sling ring are intact and the barrel serial number has mostly been lost to the years though it shows a crisp assembly number ''35'' matching the ejector. The tip of the firing pin is also intact and the lock is crisp and seems to function well mechanically. This is a solid honest example of these popular Sharps cartridge carbines. (13B11754-1) {ANTIQUE} (1200/1800)
