SOLD Shiloh (Farmingdale) Sharps New Model 1863 Rifle .54

[BigSkyRambler]

SALE PENDING Here is what I have. Possibly unfired, but certainly lightly used. It is a Farmingdale, New York produced SHILOH Copy of the Civil War New Model 1863 3 band rifled musket. Similar in all respects to the Berdan Sharps except that it is .54. Has a 30" blued round barrel, with case-hardened components. Patch box on right side of stock. Bore is excellent/bright. Metal finish is near excellent with a few minor scratches. Barrel stamped with Wolf Head, meaning it was worked on by founder Wolfgang Droege. Walnut stock/forearm are very good with some minor dings/scuffs. Comes with brown leather sling. Also included is a Copy of the Ames PEACE powder flask, bag of ,54 cal. HB wadcutter bullets, Bullet mold for same. And a tin of Navy Arms caps, and cap applicator. Also, factory paperwork for rifle and receipts for original purchase. I would rate it NRA Condition-Excellent. Shiloh no longer makes this model, only the carbine. More photos on request. $2000 SHIPPED for the whole shebang. Pedersoli sells its Model 1859 for $1850 plus shipping, with its awful overdone case colors, and they are sold out. Willing to sell rifle alone for lower price.

My 50 cal is #417 and my 45 cal is #2499. Both Farmingdales. That was luck. Hadn't heard about Farmingdales until I got one. lol. I got the 45 thru GB and was advertised as a 54 cal. Once I got it in my hands and saw it was 45 it was ok. It's a really nice 3 band. Both have really nice color on the actions.
