my sharps found

Post by kenny sd »

sharps in book.jpg
I am the current custodian of a Sharps 74 original 158254

Factory letter says double ship 1876 then back to the factory in 1879 and sent to S H and G. It is listed by sn in
'arming the west' as being shipped out west in 79.

I was just rereading the book on 1874's by Marcot and found it listed by serial number there too.

interesting.....and just for your enjoyment....Ken
