	Good eye Bill. I went back and looked at post 33 and there you can clearly see that it has a ramrod attached to the bottom of the barrel which makes it look a lot bigger than it is. You don't see many straight grip Sharps with a cheek rest on it and it looks like it may have been added.

	What is Mr. Schieffelin propping his right leg up with, and why?

	Since there was considerable silver in Nevada back then, did it also occur in Arizona? Bill Lawrence

	Sure, Arizona mined a whopping amount of silver. Even way, way back the indigenous people extract some. Became fine jewelers in some opinions.

	Is that a wiping rod under Mr. Schieffelins Sharps barrel?

	Interesting. Might be a Gemmer Sharps or a Freund?

	He basically founded Tombstone Arizona by striking it rich mining a mother lode of silver, so he could most assuredly afford a Freund or Gemmer, or whatever he wanted for that matter.

	Post # 33 gives you a good look at the wiping rod and shows you that in other photos the rifle's barrel looks much larger than it actually is due to a very thick underrib. Bill Lawrence

	Since both Samantha and Schiefflein where from Tombstone, that rifle must have been a prop in the photography store. I wonder what the chances of it still being in Tombstone are, possibly in a museum somewhere? Gemmer makes sense, Joe.

	. . . that rifle must have been a prop in the photography store. And also the fancy double gun belt, its loops filled with what could well be cartridges for the Sharps? I'd say that's stretching probabilities at least as far as Ed and Samantha being very good friends. But if it was a prop, it will show up in other photos, I'm sure. Bill Lawrence

	Hung up on the boots. Made a few. Earliest "V" notch tops I have seen. Sharper toe and higher heel than most of the period. Probably custom made, maybe locally. Chuck

	Chuck I too was looking at the boots. The ones currently being made are just not pleasing to my myself and I have always preferred the Olathe round toe and what I have worn for years and still do. The one below is basically the same boot as I have with the exception of maybe the toe not being as round its hard to tell. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)
