Welcome from The Heart Of Dixie. Your Sharps rifle is in rough shape and its a shame to see any CW era weapon in this shape but it is what it is. It is not listed in the SRS so its history is lost to time. Merry Christmas.
 
Hopefully it can live on through the parts being used to get someone else's Sharps back in service. Welcome to the group from middle Alabama.
