This is a Model 1862 Nay type carbine manufactured by Sharps & Hankins during the Civil War period. There were approximately 13000 of these Model 1862 Sharps & Hankins carbines produced between 1862 and 1867 in several different variations. This Navy, serial number 8205, was produced during the Civil War period. It is a .52 caliber, rimfire, breechloading carbine with a 24" barrel. The barrel has a black leather cover to help protect it from rust. It is retained to the barrel by two screws at the breech end and a band at the muzzle. Many of the Nay carbines are missing the leather, this one retains the majority of it. The bore is still bright and has very strong rifling. The adjustable rear sight is still present, as well as the small brass blade front sight located on the barrel band. The barrel on these carbines slides forward when the trigger guard, lever is moved forward to allow a round to be loaded into the breech. The mechanics of this carbine operate perfectly. The frame, hammer and trigger guard have a matching patina. The right side of the frame is stamped SHARPS& HANKINS PHILADA in four lines. The left side is stamped SHAPRS PATENT 1859 in three lines. The serial number of 8205 is stamped on the tang of the receiver, bottom of the barrel and on the slide mechanism of the barrel. The brass butt plate still shows plenty of nickel plating. The walnut stock shows the normal handling mars, but is in overall good condition. The right side stock comb shows a couple of shallow stress cracks. The rear sling swivel is still present. This Model 1862 Sharps & Hankins Navy carbine is in overall good condition, and will make a great candidate for the Civil War carbine collector who's missing one of these!
