Can anyone tell me where I could get a factory letter on a model 1863 carbine. It is a neet old gun I just would like to confirm how it left the factory.

  The late Frank Sellers was the foremost historian regarding Sharps firearms. Although most of the records he had were for the later cartridge guns, not the earlier percussion guns such as yours. Since he passed away I'm not sure who has access to and controls the Sharps records that Frank had?
  
  You might get hold of the latest edition of Flayderman't Guide, it has a extensive section on Sharp's firearms including a bibliography. It might help you in your research.
