Carbines like this were issued by Cavalry troops during the Civil War. The weapon measures 39'' overall & the shorter length made it easier to handle on horseback.

SHARPS PAT/SEPT. 12TH 1842''. Right side of receiver stamped: ''R.S. LAWRENCE PAT./APRIL 12TH 1858 & C. SHARPS PAT/OCT. 5TH 1852''. The serial number is located on top of the receiver tang. Bore is good, dark with scaring, but distinctive visible rifling. Single Iron barrel band is present & matches the barrel surface. Bottom tang carries the lever locking lug. Single trigger. Standard military style metal buttplate. Action is strong & mechanically sound. Appears to be a complete & battle used carbine. Antique, No FFL Req.. - Value: 3000 to 10000
