I have a Sharps New Model 1863 Conversion carbine with the Serial Number C, 16731 (116,731). It has the initials HLK in the forestock.
I had the pleasure of speaking with a Dr. Richard J. Labowskie, M.D. in Philadelphia, who was most helpful, however did not have this Sharps serial number in the records he has.
I purchased this for our Sea Scouts (part of Boy Scouts of America) black powder shooting program.
Is there anyone or organization you might recommend whom I might be able to contact who might be able to give me any history of this carbine? Thank you in advance for your kind assistance, it is greatly appreciated.
