Description
Doubtless part of the John Brown shipments.
Very Fine Sharps M1853 .52 Caliber Percussion Slant Breech Carbine with Probable John Brown Association, #15857 Just five numbers from a known documented specimen furnished to Brown (#15862). Very fine condition, all metal smooth with gray to brown patina. Block and lever with about 30% case colors. All markings sharp and a very crisp gun. Mechanically perfect, as is the bore. The correct original rear sight is just a bit loose. All brass furniture perfect. Wood excellent with just a few minor dents and the remains of an old varnish finish. An exceptionally nice slant breech.Auction Info
