1859 Sharps Berdan

My 1859 Sharps  Berdan with double triggers. This rifle was made in 1998. Italian replica by Armisport. Very accurate.

I do as well. Cap and ball revolvers, Flintlocks and Sharps. No particular order. Just love them all

I had a Sharps Business Rifle made by IAB and imported by Armsport (Not Armisport). Armisport is Chiappa.

Nice rifle there,  I sold the one I had.   Needed money more than I needed the rifle.   Wish I had it back now.    The
Armisport rifles are very good quality.

Nothing like a Sharps to make my day! Is this a recent purchase, Terry?

Many years ago I had a Sile Sharps paper cutter. I think it cost $230.00 back then! I sold that to a good friend; he designed a new gas seal and took a deer with it that same year.

I am fortunate to have a Farmingdale Sharps 1853 carbine, an original 1863 and a original 1851 60 bore Sharps. These are all paper cutters.
