I believe Sharps of lod only made 1 or 2 of them for an exhibition. Sellers talks about it in his book. Save the Earth...its the only planet with chocolate!

Available with a single set trigger now, though I've liked the original single stage ones just fine. I think the rig pictured may be the "Mystery Rifle" that no-one knows WHO has,........

Now if were talking sharps the borchardt was way ahead of its time the hammer less design made the lock time sooooo fast. What you have done is not nearly as important as how you have done it!!!

Yeah, the Borchardt was so ahead of its time that nobody bought them and the company went under! It seems they did just fine when sticking with the '74 model? Of course it may have really been that the introduction of the 1876 Winchester spelled the end for many big single shots in the minds of many buyers... Bill C.-sbio
