I was going through my library today and noticed I had an extra copy of "Sharps Rifle, The Gun That Shaped American Destiny" by Martin Rywell.

It is a small book and not overly expensive, and I want to send it to someone who may be wanting a copy. I am willing to send it for free to the first person who posts a picture of themselves in full costume holding a sharps rifle.

Lets see if we get any takers.

I love this idea, and I will pay it forward,

I'll find a book and post a contest,  I think the photo idea is cool so it will be along that line ... :)

Here's another. This was taken at the 125th Manassas back in 1986. The rifle is my New Model 1859, which could have been there 125 years earlier.

I remember that event, HOT as blue blazes.

You may recall, The guy playing McDowell ordered a escorted ride through the Union encampment  ::)

and the Concord landing at Dulles at the height of the battle.

Don't need a free book but here's an old one of me. I've aged and the rifle now sports an RHO scope.

Ok, Real quick ....

Jayhawker .... WOW ... I love that picture. I plan on having one of me done up like that when I get all settled in Texas. I always wanted one like that. Where was that taken?

Pitspitr ... Lookin' sharp ... Is that a muskrat hat or buffalo hat? I also love the coat ... did you make them?


Thanks,

Sorry for the tardy reply.
I made the coat, or more precisely helped make the coat. The hat is an original Army seal skin hat.
