$4,000.00 Spencer that isn't!!!!

My Goodness ,  This link no longer shows the incorrect listing of a miniature Spencer Carbine for sale for $4,000.00, it now shows the correct Sharps name for the miniature.

It would seem that the seller doesn't know guns.
I wonder how he came up with that price?

The eBay Seller sent me this Email:  "you are correct. it is a sharps!"

Maybe it's just me but I see no point in the 'gun'. I guess it's a nice model but a non-firing replica gun is kinda like a non-kissing girlfriend.

He better look again..thats a trapdoor , not a Sharps

Like jim said, that's a Trapdoor Springfield.  Not a Spencer or a Sharps.

Perhaps the seller is just trying to see how "Sharps" we are. The photo shows a trapdoor Springfield. What did I win?

I sent the dealer an email, and told him the "Sharps" miniature, is in fact, a Springfield Trapdoor, and he responded with an "you are absolutely correct".

The seller is certainly an agreeable sort of chap! You can't whip him into a corner!
