U.S. Contract Sharps New Model 1863 Metallic Cartridge Conversion Carbine

This is on of 60,000 New Model 1863 carbines manufactured for use during the Civil War and one of the relatively rare carbines not relined when they were altered for use with the .50-70 government cartridge and refurbished after the war. It has the standard markings and features.

ConditionVery fine overall. The metal retains the period refurbished blue and casehardened finish, light gray and brown patina on the balance, some minor pitting and oxidation, and light scratches and marks. The wood has smooth oiled finish, some slight flaking around the lock, a few minor scratches and dings, and a crisp "DFC" cartouche. Mechanically excellent.
