					                        <description><![CDATA[<p>You can get a Factory letter for your rifle.  Contact Tisha Johnson at <a href="mailto:tishaj20@gmnail.com" target="_blank">tishaj20@gmnail.com</a>.  She will need the Model and serial number.  If you have an interest in Sharps there is a fairly new 5 book set that you can order from the Sharps collectors.  You may want to buy Vol III.</p>
<p>My guess is that your rifle is a Model 1877 Sporting Rifle modified by Freund.</p>

The photos opened for me and you can see the caliber marking 32-40, it has no finish on metal left and cleaned heavily with steel wool and or emery paper. The wood has a very poor refinish job and the bore is not very good, but may still shoot ok. I would pass or not pay very much for it<br />

<p>Yes you are both correct and Bert has also confirmed this. Unfortunately it's not for sale cheap so will have to pass on it. </p>
<p>Just a shame that someone down the line treated this rifle so roughly. </p>

<p>Don’t think I’ve seen a WDJ sell for close to 2k but being the very first Winchester commemorative helps its value amongst a certain crowd. Can you post pics so we can see it? What is the serial # and does it have the matching original box and papers? <br />
Look forward to seeing it, thanks</p>

In response to your question(s), it is a second year Model 1894 (May 1895), and as such, it is most likely a 32-40.<br />

I’m guessing an 1874? It’s currently in the town museum along with some others. My dad lives in Enos T original house now so maybe one day we can get it back to his house!</p>

<p>What model is the Freunds Sharp?  Show a picture of the entire rifle.  Any Sharps that went through Freunds shop in Wyoming has an added value over a regular sharps.  And being engraved adds more value. </p>
