1859 Model Sharps Carbine .52 Caliber with Pellet Primer and Patch box. Trioni Collection, 16th PA Cavalry Used at Gettysburg  

  

A fine example of the classic Civil War-era Model 1859 Sharps Carbine, chambered in .52 caliber and retaining its desirable pellet primer system and patchbox. One of the most iconic cavalry carbines of the American Civil War, the Sharps earned an outstanding reputation for reliability, accuracy, and rugged service in the field.  

 

The lock plate is marked:  

R.S. LAWRENCE PAT. APRIL 12, 1859 with C. SHARPS PAT. OCT. 5, 1852 stamped below. The left side of the breech mechanism bears the patent marking:  C.SHARPS PAT. SEPT. 12, 1848

 

The tang is stamped with serial number 68761, identifying this as a Civil War production carbine. The ring bar plate is marked with inspector’s initials A.H.K.  

 

The metal surfaces display an attractive gray patina with scattered darker mottling along the barrel, giving the carbine a pleasing, untouched appearance. The sights remain intact, as does the saddle ring and bar. The trigger guard retaining latch functions properly, and both the breech mechanism and steel patchbox remain in working order.  

 

The walnut buttstock retains a rich, attractive color and shows honest service wear. A small symbol, resembling a reversed letter “N,” is lightly carved into the right side of the buttstock above the patchbox. The forearm exhibits a split on the underside, along with a small wedge-shaped chip missing adjacent to the breech, neither of which detracts significantly from the carbine’s overall display quality.  

 

Mechanically, the firearm remains functional, and the carbine presents as a solid and appealing example of one of the most sought-after cavalry arms of the Civil War period.  

 

From the Don Trioni Collection. This carbine is identified as having been carried by a member of the 16th Pennsylvania Cavalry and was reportedly present during the Gettysburg Campaign, adding further historical interest and collector appeal.  

 

A desirable Civil War Sharps Carbine with pellet primer system, patchbox, strong markings, and excellent display presence.
