I have been incredibly fortunate in being able to acquire a Freund marked Sharps sporting rifle. This rifle was shipped in June of 1876 to Ben Kittredge in Cincinnati Ohio. Kittredge then retailed the rifle to the Freund Brothers, who almost certainly sold this rifle from their Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory store.
Rifle is matching and chambered for the 40-70 2 1/4" Bottleneck cartridge.
A true western Sharps
