Has anyone here ever heard of the Sulphur River Armory from Naples Texas ?
I have a model 1874 Sharps rifle that is so stamped on the side plates.  On the barrel is stamped Buffalo Express and 
calibre 45 2 4/10

So far its a mystery. It appears to be an original rebuild but I lack the experience to tell for certain. 
I contacted the city of Naples , Tx and was told they have no records of any such business ever existing there.
My Son found a historical mention of it from the depression era but nothing solid.
If anyone has any first hand knowledge of it I would appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks

Many years ago there was a company in TX that sold a set of parts castings for a ‘74 Sharps action.  That name sounds familiar as does the city you mentioned. They used to advertise in the BPCR News. I no longer have any back issues or I’d see if I could find an ad.

Yes we did contact them and they are the wrong business. To my understanding they do not manufacture guns they are just a sports shop

I doubt that because it is a completely different name. This rifle is clearly stamped Sulphur River Armory - Naples Texas
It is chambered for the 45-90 and it a wonderful shooter.  It really doesn't matter because I love the rifle and its a great shooter its just the curiosity.  Two things about it that might indicate its an older rifle are its rifling twist rate at 20" and the original large firing pin.
