Those are both real beauties Mike.

But I really like the Sharps!

Wow, those are fantastic Fingers.

Really liking that engraved Henry. Is it an Uberti, or a Henry Repeating Arms?

Here is my Pedersoli Sharps "Schuetzen" Model in 45-90 caliber. I had emailed Pedersoli for information about this rifle and Gloria responded that they had only made 100 of this model. I feel pretty lucky to have found it! I purchased a Ron Heilman Soule rear tang sight for it.

It's a Uberti I bought from Cabela's in 1997.

The Tryon Rifle I bought in around 1990.  Back when I was doing Rendezvous/Mountain Man reenacting
