Unfired Shiloh Sharps 1863 infantry rifle .54Here's a pretty rare one for you.
It's a Shiloh 1863 Sharps infantry rifle made in the early days when Shiloh was in Farmingdale NY.
They don't make this model anymore.
The fellow I bought it from purchased it in the late 70s, and said he never did anything more than hold it from time to time and oil it well.
It is a .54 caliber with a 30" blued barrel and adjustable ladder sight marked up to 800 yds.
The stock is a nice nice piece of walnut with 13 3/4" length of pull and a case coloured steel patchbox.
The case colouring on the metal parts is amazing, with some really beautiful colours and patterns shining through.
The rifle comes with an adjustable leather sling and some bullets with paper cartridges.
Also included is an Eras Gone custom ringtail Sharps bullet mold. This mold was designed for the utmost accuracy with these rifles, and the bullets can be used with loose powder, or with cardboard tubes or traditional paper cartridges tied/glued to the bullet.
I also have about 160 musket caps and Swiss 1.5fg powder I can include for local pick up.
It is in pristine unfired condition. The only minor issue is a small dent in the forestock which I've included a picture of.
I would like $3500 or best offer with local pick up or shipping on the buyer's dime.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
