Engraving by Mark Hoechst 1220 N. 18th St., Bismarck, ND, 58501 http://www.thehandengraver.com Sharps 1874 This Sharps was done in the style and motif of my favorite master engraver of the nineteenth century, Gustave Young. I have studied Young's work where he combines his distinctive scroll work with animals and heads flowing out of the scroll work, and the gold inlay figures are placed right on top of the scroll. This type of traditional style is appropriate for a Sharps Rifle. |
