Fellow Sharpshooters
Yesterday I received a 61 page listing of historical firearms books for sale from Mr. Bert Garber of BSG books (
begbook@bellsouth.net). On page 52, he has listed
Sharps Firearms-
The Percussion Era 1848-1865, Vol. 1. It is in new condition and rated ‘Excellent’. The cost is $100. A first edition, signed by Marcot; Volume 2-Early Metallic Cartridge Firearms and Model 1874 that is out of print is also for sale. This collectors book is $295.
Both books are expensive-the later prohibitively so for my wallet. But for those readers who want the most comprehensive and current information about the Sharps weapons, these books are it.
