In 1986 I was living in Montana and bought a 1872 Sharps Rifle chambered in 50-90 and Colt Single Action Army chambered in .44-40; I was happy as a pig in shit to find and be able to purchase these historic firearms.

These two firearms are wall hangers as they were rusted and pitted and had some parts missing when I got them, their condition leaves a lot to be desired but I cleaned them up as best I could over the years and was able to locate and purchase most of the missing parts.

I bought them for "junk" price as they were "junk" with no collectors value. I am still happy with this purchase and they make great conversation starters.
