About fifteen years ago, I traded somebody for an Italian made repro .54 Sharps carbine. As I read the proofing marks, it was made in 1980, but I can't tell by what manufacturer.
I have never fired it, it's in very good shape.
I see new ones from Petersoli going over over a grand, so I'm asking $750.

It could be an IAB. That was an early Italian repro.

On the left side of the barrel, near the breech, there are four stamps. Two seem to be from Italian proofing houses; and one is the date stamp. The last one (reading left to right) may be a maker's symbol. It consists of two "flattened" diamond shapes that intersect at one corner.
Anyway, while I love it, I have no time or reason to fire it, and it's a shame to let it go to waste.
Carbine is sold
