Someone who has access to Springfield Research of the National archives could you help ?
I got an 1863 New Model Sharps rifle. The serial# is C 31882. Is there a record of it being issued?

Thanks so much for your input!

We would love to see photos, while I look it up.
 
Nothing spectacular, just an honest old one that is not too worn out.

Its not listed. Does it have inspector cartouche on the stock and is it fitted for a bayonet? Is the patch box brass or iron?
