Another Grandfathered Sharps SBR? :D

I've read about some SBR leverguns, but haven't seen one of these before. Cool.....

An interesting piece.Is there any known history?I have seen similiar guns over the years,the few that had any traceable history came from from stage lines and freighting companys.

I believe there is a similar Carbine at the Rock Island Arsenal Museum. Also, if I recall correctly, the one at the museum was confiscated from a "captured" Indian.
