Are there any markings on an 1859 Sharps carbine butt plate to indicate it's original, not repro? I bought a second butt plate, this time from a guy online, and it looks the aged part, but only has the number 30 on the backside bottom. Can't make out if anything is on the underside thumb area. Guy said it was the same last two digits as the serial number on the rifle tang.
Same question applies to the band - any telltale markings that would indicate an original or repro?
