    FS Protype Garrett Sharps

    I found this in the back of the fabled closet, it is a Garrett Sharps, serial number C-X-1, never fired by its appearence, looks just like an original Sharps as only Frank Garrett did back in the day.
    .54 caliber, percussion model.
    Ask questions, or buy, I can no longer shoot, and it is a shame to not put this to the use it was intended.
    $1600.00, OBO, postpaid.

    Obvious BTT

    Thanks PJ, hope you all can keep the farm by moving the surplus carbines. I had a dream the other night in which you were shooting carbine with a Starr, but then after further reflection, you were accepting medals for being a shooting star at 100 yards with your Maynard. Right?
    This is a BTT

    price reduced, of course

    Just watched my Shiloh Sharps pass out of the door, so this Garrett remains.
    How about $1225.00?
    Like new, a piece of skirmishing history.
    Just noticed the small piece that should be on the top of the Lawrence primer system is missing. So, for those of you that use the Lawrence system, you are SOL, sorry.

    Reduced fer the Fourth

    Well if Raider can sell his Garibaldi/Grimaldi Austrian toy why does this Garrett not sell?
    I got this at the Fort many years back while strolling through the sheds along the creek, and it should return to the Fort a'blazing.
    Now reduced to $1100.00, post paid. And, the Lawrence primer top bit is still missing, and still of no use unless the Lawrence primers are remade in China.
    This is too nice to not return to action.
    (I am also trying to make 1200 hits on this, which would be a person best for me on a non-selling item!)

    Yup,,,,,,I almost got into shooting a Sharps because of all the original ones I have.

    This Garrett is a steal at this price and can't believe it's still for sale.

    Go put it over on these boards at the higher Price and delete it off of here Stevie!
