Sharps-Borchardt M1878 military rifle. Flayderman 5F-059. Metal parts are fine with original blue on barrel mixing with old worn scattered surface rust specks, other parts have uncleaned medium patina mixing with a little original finish in places, and a tiny bit of minor pitting on the lever and buttplate. Barrel markings are excellent, frame marking is slightly weak in spots. Stock is fine, with a tiny crack in the toe of the butt and a tiny chip on left side next to frame, overall very pleasing condition. Mechanically good, sold as a collector item only, not warranted safe to shoot.
