Overall in Very Good to Excellent condition. With Excellent bore.
Bare with me guys. I know very little about Sharps, so I'm reaching out for help in identifying this family heirlom. This is owned by my father-in-law. Probably the straightest shootin' guy I know. Apparently, this rifle was bought by a distant member of his family and carried in a covered wagon during the Oklahoma Land run, where they claimed a Section of land near current day Wynnewood.
The land and the rifle are still both in the family. He is now passing it on to his daughter (my wife) and we consider it priceless. The rifle is pricess, in terms of sentimental value, but it need to be added to insurance, so an approximate value would be good. I have no intentions of shooting the rifle as the bore looks very rough, but would consider running a few patches through it if it wouldn't reduce the value any. I know better than to try and 'restore' such a treasure! Any information that you can share would be greatly apprecaited.
I am currently looking for the doctors name that owns the original production records from Sharps. The plan is to build shadow box for the rifle with certificate from the original records as well as a few paper cartridges and primers that would have originally been used. Somewhere in there will be a written account of the family heritage of the rifle. On to the rifle: Sharps Carbine serial 36556. But it is no longer a percussion model. It is a cartridge conversion, most likely chambered for.50-70 (some of the early ones were called.52-70, because the original percussion barrels were retained unaltered) - later ones were had their barrels re-lined to.50, or were rebuilt with new barrels in that caliber.
Proper cartridges to display with the carbine would be internally primed, copper-cased military.50-70 rounds, and, of course, no percussion caps or Lawrence disk primers - though the lock was originally made for the disk primer, it was not externally altered when the conversion was done; sometimes the original disk feeding mechanism is intact. I'm not really up to speed on current values, but suspect, given the overall condition, something around $2k would be reasonable. PRD1 - mhb - Mike. Of the conversions are: Altered hammer which strikes the firing pin in the altered breechblock. The hammer has a wedge-shaped nose, without the recess for the percussion nipple, which is absent in the new breechblock.
