Amazon sells a book "Civil War Sharps Carbines and Rifles" by Coates and McAuly. It has a lot of information on Sharps arms and the regiments they were issued to, according to serial number. You may or may not find your number in this reference but it is worth a look. Even if your rifle is not listed, this is a good book to have for someone interested in the Sharps, and you have a good start on that. It is an important part of firearms history and American history.
