Sharps Model 1874 Single Shot Sporting Rifle with Factory Letter

Manufactured c. 1877. Matching numbered Bridgeport barrel marked "CAL.45 2 1/10" on the left. Included factory letter lists the rifle in .45 caliber using the 2 7/8 inch shell (likely a factory error), with a 30 inch octagon barrel, double set triggers, open sights, and oil finished stock, and that it was Schuyler, Hartley & Graham on 28 December 1877.

ConditionFine overall with most of the professionally restored blue on the barrel and traces of the original case colors on the action, some scattered light spotting, and a few minor cracks near the buttplate and scattered minor dings in the wood. Mechanically excellent.
