I have a 1853 sharps rifle. Serial number 18162. 32" half Oct half round bbl (which I'm told is 1 of about 110)? .45 caliber with double set triggers. In what I would consider good shape. No missing pieces. Dark finish on stocks. Nice patina and a good bore. Any sharps gurus on here wanna take a stab at a ballpark value? Thanks.


I'm what you call your basic famous.

You have a rare Sharps percussion sporting rifle; (unless it was converted to cartridge) value depends on finding a collector who wants it. And condition of course. I would put it in a big auction house, but there is a risk,, but also you get far more, worldwide, publicity.

I will give a range condition dependent. $1200-2200.There 3 in Tulsa that I saw and I didn't get to walk around much. 1 was a parts gun $800,1 was 85% original condition $5500 and 1 was a typical brown patina Sharps and it was $1500.These prices are how I am giving this range.Just my opinion.

You have a lovely rifle. If you let it go, make sure it goes to a good home. Do you know if it has been in California since the 1850s?
