Sharps 1863 carbine help

I think the values quoted are a bit high. Very nice carbine though.

Check some of the known dealers in antique arms. I just looked at a couple online, and decent carbines can be had for much less then $6k. Very good Buffalo Sharps can be had for much less than that. That doesn't detract from your gun, just be realistic in expectations.
 
5 to 6k? That is way too high. Its a 2500 to 3k gun. I just bought one in fine condition for 2500 shipped to my door. I turned one down for 4200 that made this one look like it was rode hard and put away wet. 90 percent on the blue and 60 on the case colors. It was a very nice gun but for the difference I can now look for my 1858 Remington.
 
I don't have any idea about the fair market value but that is a hell of a nice Sharps carbine! Research and contacting the high end dealers and auction houses will get you a good handle on its market value.
 
Last post Tylerstg made was August 2013 but hey, he still might be lurking...

If you are still around what did you do with the Sharps?
