How much is a Very good to excellent condition farmingdale 1863 sharps worth?

From what I've seen, a good military rifle should be worth between $1000 and $1400, especially if it has a patch box. Many N-SSA members look for good used rifles but they must have the patch box to use in competition.

I know of a good gunsmith that can add a patchbox to any Shiloh fast!
He's located in Virginia....

Something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Frequently, '63 persussion rifles go begging as it is definitely a niche market. It is also moot as to whether a Farmingdale rifle holds more value than one made in Montana.

If you think it so, then it does.

I own rifles made in both locations and they are all excellent products.
No one cares about or notices the 'wolf's head' logo but me.

How things have changed.

I paid $400.00 for my Farmingdale back in 1981; and that was when "Zouave" rifles were going for $150.00.
