Sharps New Model 1859 Breech Loading Percussion Military Rifle

Blade front and Lawrence patent rear sights on barrel with 3-line Hartford address and New Model markings. Standard patent markings on the receiver, with the primer system present but disabled. Smooth straight grip stock, with three barrel bands, sling swivels and a patch box on the right hand side of the butt.

ConditionGood, with an even mixed brown and gray patina, showing dings and scattered pitting on the barrel, frame and lock. Hints of original blue are present on the lever. Stock is good, with cracks, pressure dents, and a green tint to the right side of the buttstock. Mechanically needs adjustment, as hammer sometimes falls when the lever is moved.
