This does not look like a fun gun to shoot and the price seems high to me. The descriptions is also in English...

If your rifle is not in 7.62 and you can't hit what you are aiming at with de-linked machinegun ammo you are a pretender.

A lovely Military Sharps Rifle.
I am reading 50-2" but I do not read German?
How much is 9,990.00 in 'Merican?

I missed a 1874 Trials Sharps about three years ago for about $5500, still kicking myself Smiley

the one in the Gunfinder add is a New model 1869 (based on the serial and the barrel marked as such  Smiley), but I don't think it warrants such a price in Europe, despite being in a very good condition.

The .50L (2" case) can be loaded as a 50-70, so shooting might not be that painful (but buying the gun would be)

I wonder however about the two identical frech markings underneath the barrel (COURONNE BREVETE SGDG, the last 2 meaning "patented without governement warranty")
