John,
Welcome to the Forum.
A couple of the fellows who are active in living history groups and present at NPS battlefields own original Berdan contract NM1859 Sharps. The rest of us have to be content to travel to museums or events like the Mansfield CW collectors shows and try to keep from drooling all over the Sharps on display. Even with the bum economy, Berdan range Sharps, especially if they have set triggers, command daunting prices. Looking forward to your contributions to this site.
