serial #11688, 32 Short R.F., 3” four barrel cluster that show very good plus bores with a few small oxidation blemishes in each bore retaining strong rifling in each. This fine Sharps retains about 50% original deep blue, most of the loss to wear with a few handling marks. The frame retains about 90% original silver plate which has tarnished to a rich antique patina, most of the loss is to flaking finish on the backstrap in addition to scattered light bubbling and minor high edge wear. The hammer and spur trigger have toned to mostly gray. The smooth rosewood factory grips remain in very good plus condition as lightly revarnished showing old flaking finish and handling marks. The barrel cluster is correctly numbered to the gun, the barrel to frame fit is tight although there is slight fore and aft play in the lockup. The markings on the frame remain crisp, the hammer nose correctly rotates and with crisp action. With about 4000 Model 4Cs manufactured they are a desirable collectible for the Sharps enthusiast.

GUIDELINES FOR FIREARM PURCHASES
• All Federal, State and Local firearms laws will be observed. FFL holders may take possession of any firearm on day of sale when they present a signed copy of their Federal Firearms License. New Hampshire residents over the age of 21 may take possession of any firearm on day of sale providing the proper paperwork is filled out and the transfer has been approved either through the NH State Police or the FBI NICS System. While most NICS and State approvals are immediate, approvals could take up to 3 days. Most non-residents may take possession of long guns on day of sale after completing the proper forms and successfully completing a NICS check; modern handguns will need to be shipped to an FFL holder in the buyer's home state. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges and all items must be paid for on day of sale. Bidders should be familiar with their local and state laws as Amoskeag Auction Co., Inc. will not be responsible for any parties purchasing items which may not be possessed in, or shipped, to their state of residence.
