    New Model 1859 Sharps Carbine With Patch Box Stock Serial Number 59301

    I would like to know if my carbine might be a known SRS listed piece. Thank you. Here are photos. The stock has a name carved into it. It looks like J. Gresham or Graham. The pellet dispenser works well. The saddle ring is missing. The stock is cracked, but still very strong. The bore has good rifling with minor pitting.

        Carbines in this range went to NY and Pennsylvania cav. units.

          They used to call those "Beecher's bibles."
