Can anyone find this model 1859 sharps carbine in the srs?

Thanks

Could you post some photos of the Sharps markers marks? It would help narrow it down as there are several different date models.

What year was it made?

It's within the range of the 16th Pennsylvania volunteer calvary, would it have served at Gettysburg?

You would need to research that unit

They did but as is often stated you cannot directly infer in number ranges without concrete research. If it's not on the list it's not on the list

It's not at Gettysburg. It was called Caledonia Furnace and was west of Cashtown, owned by Thaddeus Stevens, and upon discovering that scoundrel Stevens owned it "Old Jube" put it to the torch.
