 The 1859-1863 black powder rifles were widely used in
the Civil War. Taylor’s & Co. is proud to offer sporting versions of the
black powder target shooter, in both the 1859 Infantry Sharps model,
with a single trigger, and the 1859 Berdan Military Sharps model, with a
double-set trigger. Two models of carbines are also available: the 1859
Cavalry Sharps Carbine with Patch Box, and the 1863 Cavalry Sharps
Carbine without Patch Box. All models feature case-hardened frames and
blue barrel finish, and are made for use with .54 caliber, paper
cartridges. |
