Freedom Arms and Shiloh Sharps Combo
« on: July 13, 2009, 12:21:18 PM »
I asked this same Question on another Forum and did not get a reply so I will try here.  A couple of months ago I ran across a very nice looking combo of guns.  It was a Freedom Arms and a Shiloh Sharps out of Big Timber both chambered in 454, both octagon barrels and matching wood.  Does anyone know how many were made?  Or anyone that wants to sell theirs.  I think I missed a heck of a deal at 3500.00 for the pair but I will keep looking.  If anyone has one I would love to see pic's

The Freedom/Shiloh two gun set was a Shiloh 454 saddle rifle and a model 83 PG AS with octagonal barrel, special Sharps Shiloh buckle, Freedom buckle, cased.  Original plans were to make 100 sets but fewer were made.  Wayne says 23 were made other sources say 35.  I would believe Wayne's count.  Serial numbers were SH-FA D-1 to D-100 and FA-SH D-1 to FA SH-D 100. They were made around 1990 and I believe the orginal issue price was $4500.00.  I know of one recently for sale but it did not have the case, buckels, or other goodies with it. Richard Petty had number 43.  I have a couple of pictures of them that Freedom used to market them--they are pretty neat!  Hope this helps.

If the set was complete with all the pieces and you have the funds then I would say that you just let the deal of a lifetime slip away.

It was not for lack of trying on my part.  It sold moments after I found it.
