The top of the barrel is stamped with the three-line Hartford, Connecticut address and "NEW MODEL 1863" with left side of the barrel at the breech stamped "E.A.W". The barrel is numbered to the gun. R.S. Lawrence adjustable ladder rear sight, Sharps and Lawrence patent markings on the action and saddle ring bar only. The saddle ring is stamped "TWR". Smooth straight grip stock and forearm with period added pewter forend cap and German silver eagle inset on the buttstock.

Good. The carbine has a smooth mottled brown patina which is darker on the barrel. The wood is very good with a hairline crack near the lower tang and a number of minor handling marks. Mechanically fine. A real piece of Americana!
