Manufactured from 1863 to 1865. The top of the barrel ahead of the replaced reproduction rear sight is marked with the three line address and "NEW MODEL 1863" behind the rear sight. The left rear flat is marked with the inspection mark "E.A.W". The left side of the frame is marked with the two line Sharps patent marking and the lock is marked with the two line Sharps and Lawrence patent date markings. Brass blade front sight and folding leaf rear sight graduated to 800 yards.

Very good as refinished. The barrel has a smooth artificial brownish patina with blue finish in protected areas. The lock and receiver retain 90% case colors. The patch box retains 98% case colors. The wood has been refinished and remains very good with minor chips on the rear edge of the forearm and overall some minor handling marks. The cartouches are readable. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
