Model 1863 Sharps .50-70 with 1874 parts built in 1873.
There was a conversion period between the 1863 and 1874 Models.
This rifle was used to hunt the last remaining buffalo in the Cypress Hills located in southern Alberta/Saskatchewan extending into Montana.
The last buffalo hunted there was around 1879.
From the Fort WhoopUp collection.
