Manufactured from 1859 to 1874. The pepperbox has the straight standing breech, rounded grip to frame juncture, barrel release on the underside of the frame and smooth grips. The silver plated brass frame features a floral scroll engraving on the sides, rear and lower section of the back strap. A star burst engraving is featured around the sighting groove. The barrel cluster is numbered to the gun. "C. SHARPS/PATENT 1859" is stamped around the hammer screw on the left side of the frame and "C. SHARPS & Co/PHILADA, PA." (half remains) on the right side.

Fine. The barrel cluster retains 30% original blue finish with the balance a smooth gray patina with some minor spotting. The frame retains 80% original silver plating. The grips are very good with a minor chip missing near the bottom and a number of minor scratches. Mechanically fine.
