This rifle is one of 300 second types produced and is marked "U" on the three barrel bands, "M.N.M." on the rear of the forearm, "75" on the upper tang, left side of the barrel and inside of the forearm, "US" on the buttplate tang and "SHARP'S PAT./SEPT. 12TH 1848" on the left side of the frame. It has a blade front sight on a stud and notch/folding ladder rear sight graduated to "9". It has a military style forearm with a forend cap and secured by three barrel bands, a straight wrist stock from a carbine with slightly curved buttplate and sling swivels mounted to the bottom of the butt and middle barrel band.

Good as refinished/assembled with replacement parts including repaired and refinished wood. The barrel is a golden artificial brown patina on the balance. The frame also has a similar artificial golden brown patina. Two of the barrel bands have a golden tone from varnish while the rear band is bright. The wood is fine with some repairs along with minor chips, dings and scrapes. The forend is a modern reproduction. Mechanically excellent.
