CONDITION: Very fine. The pistol-rifle retains 80% plus
original brown finish on the barrel. There is some scattered
pitting on the top and right side of the barrel near the muzzle.
The case colors on the receiver and lever have faded to a smooth silver
gray patina. The percussion nipple and breechblock are free of any flash pitting.
The buttcap has a dark patina. The patch box retains 85% of the original bright blue
finish with traces of surface rust. The buttplate has light-moderate pitting and with a dark brown
patina. The wood is excellent retaining 90% of the high polish piano finish with scattered minor handling marks. The markings are clear. Mechanically fine. The case is fair. The exterior is heavily scratched and the velvet interior is faded and torn. The bullet mold is good. The primer tin is fair, the paper label is torn and discolored but legible. The belt, cap pouch and cartridge box are good to very good and appear to be unused with only storage wear. This is a rare award winning and unique example of a cased Standard Model Sharps pistol-rifle with shooting accessories, military belt, cap pouch, and cartridge box.
