When we did our recent remodel, we looked at changing a small bedroom into a den/western motif to display some older guns and gear. A local ranch had some old barn wood and corrugated sheet metal that we used to cover one wall and start the makeover.

My daughter has tremendous ability to take the most rustic material and create a nice backdrop for my intended purpose…

2 of the Sharps have Walter Cooper stamps on the barrel and the third has A.D. McAusland stamped on the barrel. The picture is Bozeman Main Street in 1870 and the brick building under construction on the right is the store that Cooper is building and moves into in 1872.

All 3 of those Sharps were shipped to Walter Cooper in 1877, and the best part is the 2 lower guns were in the same shipment in August 1877…
