If you are looking for the ultimate guide to Sharps firearms you have found it. After fifteen years of research and the completion of their four-volume Sharps Firearms series detailing the history of Sharps from its origin through the companys closure, the authors have published “SHARPS FIREARMS – A Collector’s Guide.”
The book was written in response to requests from collectors and arms historians seeking a concise single volume with information about the Company and its products. This book provides a straightforward overview of the firearms manufactured by the Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company and the Sharps Rifle Company.
Each model is presented using an opposing two-page layout, featuring detailed photographs. Close-up images of firearms are included. A clear, succinct narrative is accompanied by a comprehensive characteristics chart detailing the rifle or carbine being reviewed. When warranted, the format has been expanded to multiple pages, particularly for several military models, including Creedmoor and Long Range target rifles, as well as Sharps Model 1874 Sporting Rifles.
The research for “SHARPS FIREARMS – A Collector’s Guide” is directly from the corporate records of the Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company and the Sharps Rifle Company, as well as from the National Archives, the Library of Congress, the U.S.
Patent Office, and other primary sources.
What you can expect to receive is an 8 ˝ “ x 11”, 204-page full-color, hardbound book. Consistent with their earlier works, the book is printed on heavy stock paper and is easily carried to gun shows for immediate reference. Each chapter is cross-referenced with the authors’ Sharps Firearms series. This book is a stand-alone reference suitable for collectors and arms historians at every level.
