Shiloh Rifle Forums

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

That is cool, how about some pics of the old rifle!!! I love looking at originals!

'file is too large' message on everything...
