I have to agree. I've seen several Slotterbeck Sharps as well as many of the Freund guns. Pablo Balentine, who wrote the book on the Freund brothers, had many original Freund guns and other interesting items made in their shops. I like all of the Freund altered guns, but the one that intrigues me the most is the "Wyoming Saddle Rifle". This gun has only changed hands twice in the last 60 years. Although the Freund Brothers advertised this rifle in their 1879 catalog, only one has very been found. When it was still here in Montana, I had many opportunities to play with this gun as well as the Boone May Sharps, which was in the same private collection. The saddle rifle is most fascinating because of it's beauty, craftsmanship and history. The entire gun was designed from scratch and far exceeds any hand made rifle I've ever seen. This rifle was made for a specific customer and although that individual carried and used this gun on horseback, it is still in extremely fine condition. Both this rifle and the Boone May Sharps are pictured in Pablo's book.
