I have a Sharps 1863 50/70 that looks like it saw a bunch of time on a horse. Brown patina, dark rough wood and a nice bright bore with one spot of pitting 3/4 from the muzzle. Serial# is C,15000 on the welded tang and C,11623 on the barrel. I would like to have the serial# checked in the SRS please. It is a very cool looking rifle. Here are a few pic's.
