The Sharps Carbine Model 1859 was a revolutionary firearm used extensively during the American Civil War (1861-1865).

The increased rate of fire, reliability, and accuracy made the Sharps a highly sought-after rifle in both military and civilian markets.

The Sharps rifle continued to be used in the post-war period, especially among buffalo hunters and frontier marksmen, solidifying its place in American firearms history.
