Description:

Manufactured in Italy as a faithful reproduction the Sharps 1874 rifle made famous by Tom Sellek in his role in "Quigley Down Under". As with the rifle depicted in the film, this example has stock features of the 1874 cavalry carbine including the patch box and left side mounted saddle ring bar. With a heavy 33 inch octagon barrel with a front globe and adjustable rear ladder and notch sights. Fitted with an adjustable long range Pedersoli tang mounted peep sight. With double set triggers. Mounted on a nicely checkered forearm with pewter end cap and straight grip stock with a smooth carbine type buttplate. The barrel is a deep polished blue with the action and other parts being a dark muted casehardened finish. Includes a German silver blade front sight insert on a dovetailed block and a framed print of Tom Sellek in western attire.

Rating Definition:

Excellent with 95% plus original finish, some light handling marks and a few minor surface scratches on the action. The wood is excellent with light general handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The framed print is excellent.
