Sharps custom restored and built by Ron Long with 28 inch part round part octagon barrel equipped with windage adjustable spirit level fitted front globe sight and integral micrometer adjustable rear tang sight. Vividly case colored receiver. Fitted with an extremely high figured piece of American walnut with full pistol grip, ebony tip and checkered approximately 22 lines per inch. CONDITION: Very fine with most all contemporary finishes remaining. The bore is as new bright and shiny with sharp lands and grooves. Receiver is vividly case colored and most all finish remains with a small area of corrosion on right side from poor storage. The stocks are exceptional. The wood work alone would exceed the cost of this rifle today. Truly stunning. TDW
