Pedersoli apparently bought all of the left over parts. Maybe Frank sold what he had to someone and hopefully you'll find out who that was. Here is Pedersoli's response regarding the parts they bought from Palmetto Arms in early 1992
"Dear Mr. Harding, We had to take the time to look in the old serial number books to find the matching serial number.
The rifle was produced at the beginning of 1992, at that time we took over the tooling and some parts from Palmetto
company, we produced few pieces of the Sharps rifles, yours was shipped to Beauchamp Company in June 1992.
Soon after that period we made our own tooling, to produce the parts inside our company and in the 1993
we started with the new reference for the serial number, which is SH..since
then our Sharps rifles are marked with SH and the number."
