New model 1859 marking on top of barrel behind the folding ladder rear sight with R.S. Lawrence patent marked base and the three line Sharps address ahead of the rear sight. The carbine is marked with the Sharps 1852 patent dates. Saddle ring bar with ring on the left side and stock has an iron patchbox.

Very good plus. The barrel retains traces of original blue finish in and around the protected areas with the balance a mottled gray patina with some very light spotting. The receiver retains patterns of the original case colors with some bright remnants in the protected areas. The wood is fine with a series of pressure dents on the forearm underside and a series of dents near the saddle ring bar. Mechanically fine.
