This is one of the best Civil War Sharps Rifles I've ever seen. I would rate it as excellent. The barrel retains almost all of it's factory blue finish with a super bore. The case colors aren't as vivid as the barrel but still pretty good. The stock is also in excellent + condition with two great cartouche and inspector initials on both the buttstock comb and the bottom of the forestock. It even retains it's carrying sling.
