(M1-16-14-593) SHARPS & HANKINS MODEL 1862 CARBINE

Overall metal is in generally good condition with some very minor pitting; nice functioning action, original sights. Original wood is in VG condition with a brass style buttplate; correct stock sling swivel. The gun appears to have been converted to a Navy line throwing gun-its 16 gauge and has a fixture on the front for a line throwing canister-very unusual. I dont know of another like it, but I believe it to be all original and correct. ~~> VIEW PHOTO <~~ e
