From StJMXER Beach, EUsivorth, Wd/wcw, Sept. 12, 1874. 
“I think that the ‘Sharps’ that we use for ki'lingbuff^o need no improvement, as they are a perfect gun. I saw Zack Light (who is 
one of the best bofialo hunters, and acknowledged to be the l>est sh<»l on these Western prairies), last winter, while on a buffalo bnnt, 
one day. squat down in a buffalo wallow (after crawling and getting a s and on a herd of buffalo), and killed 74 head of buffalo, just where 
he sat in the wallow, lie killed that winter twenty-three hundred head of buffalo. The rest of ns killed about twelve hundred head. 
He used a ‘Sharps' 5U calibre.” 
From Col. H. A. Gildersleevb. A. A. G.A»t IHv. _V. G. S. X. T.,Xew York. Oct. 10, 1874. 
** I have used your rifle since June la-i, with great ple.-i'Ure and success. I regard it as second to no rifle in the w'orld for simplicity 
of mec^uism, excellence of finish, and accuracy of execution.” 
From \Vh. .M. Trkadww, Pott Henry, Sew York, Oct. 26. 1874. 
” I have severely tested the Sharps It fie recently purcha^i'd from you, and find it the most perfect shooting gun I ever saw. Send me 
two more at once, for friends who ar,.- dclignied with the excellence of rav rifle. 1 will proh.ibly ordei still another in a day or two.” 
From Granville Stewart, Esq., Peer Lodge, Mont Ter.. Dec. *29. 1K74. 
” The two Rifles ordered by me arrived on the 25lh. and are beautifni specimen^ of the perfection referred by yon in the manufac* 
tnre of target guns. They are far superior to anything •ever seen nere before, and give sat:sfacrion in e^ery pa.'ticolaf.” 
From J. T. Rothrock. M. D., Wtike^barre, Pa., Fett. 12. 1875. 
” That Sharps Rifle is the perfection of a hunting gnn. I have never seen anything in the rifle line, that so perfectly satisfies me.”
