This rifle from c. 1874-1876 has a dovetailed blade front sight, Lawrence patent notch and ladder rear sight, the one-line Hartford barrel address, "CALIBRE 44" on top at the breech, adjustable double set triggers, a pewter forend cap, smooth stock and forearm, and only a rear sling swivel. The barrel carries the matching serial number, "155031," under the forearm. The Sharps Model 1874 was a significant firearm in the post-Civil War American West and was especially favored for its long range accuracy.

Good with an untouched genuine frontier used appearance displaying a mix of dark brown patina, some mild oxidation and pitting, and moderate overall wear. The wood is mostly good and has some divots, small cracks and slivers, and moderate overall wear including a darkened butt. Mechanically fine.
