WOW ! A nice & rare rifle - worth considerable ka-ching.
SN C19156 would have been one of the latest Sharps New Model 1863 built as a .52cal breechloader using paper cartridges.
AFAIK after 100,000 were built a 'C' prefix was used in the SN - so SN C19156 represents the 119,156th New Model built.
The Sharps carbine was the most significantly utilized carbine of the Civil War, it was a single shot percussion breechloader using paper cartridge and and revolutionized hand weaponry at the time.
As manufactured by Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Co., Hartford, Connecticut, serial numbers for the 'New Model 1863' generally run 75,000 to 140,000, some overlap with other models.
The Model 1863, reflected only minor improvements over the Model 1859, mostly elimination of the patchbox. Standard features include an iron buttplate, iron loading lever serves as a trigger guard, one iron band, percussion nipple was designed to utilize a tape primer system that did not work very well and was usually disabled, but conventional cap served effectively, hinged Sharps sight, saddle bar and riding ring on left side, rifling with six lands and grooves
The 'E.A.W.' is a Civil War era Inspector's mark.

Bare with me guys. I know very little about Sharps, so I'm reaching out for help in identifying this family heirlom. This is owned by my father-in-law. Probably the straightest shootin' guy I know. Apparently, this rifle was bought by a distant member of his family and carried in a covered wagon during the Oklahoma Land run, where they claimed a Section of land near current day Wynnewood. The land and the rifle are still both in the family. He is now passing it on to his daughter (my wife) and we consider it priceless. The rifle is pricess, in terms of sentimental value, but it need to be added to insurance, so an approximate value would be good. I have no intentions of shooting the rifle as the bore looks very rough, but would consider running a few patches through it if it wouldn't reduce the value any. I know better than to try and 'restore' such a treasure! Any information that you can share would be greatly apprecaited. I am currently looking for the doctors name that owns the original production records from Sharps. The plan is to build shadow box for the rifle with certificate from the original records as well as a few paper cartridges and primers that would have originally been used. Somewhere in there will be a written account of the family heritage of the rifle.
On to the rifle:
