All these rifles were shipped to the gun store  in this photo! This is a picture of Main Street in Bozeman in 1870. Walter Cooper had his shop on the left side of the street at the time of this picture. He moved across the street in 1872 and the Sharps rifles pictured here, were all shipped to that store in the late 1870’s. Two of them were in the same shipment in August 1877!

Nice collection of guns.  I have a few that aren’t Winchester too.
I’d love to have that bottom Burgess. These have become quite pricey.  Got a picture of it folded up?
