Nice Sharps M1859 carbine with coffee mill added to the butt stock. The Sharps "Coffee Mill" carbine was the idea of Lt. Col. Walter King, US Cavalry office attached to the Springfield Armory. It was his idea that 1 man per company would have a grinder in his stock. Although a few examples may have been produced, almost all on the market are fantasy pieces that never existed, including this one. A nice authentic Sharps carbine with a coffee mill added to it later in life.
