 This is a backwards S grip. In comparison to that Syracuse gun, it is much more proud to breakage..

Yes that is the correct orientation, again in my opinion. The one on the Sharps is more exaggerated then for example on a Ballard but it fitted the times. I would think a little more subdued would be more fitting on a bolt gun today, like John O's work, that Michael introduced many of us to.

Most S-curves are concave forward and convex toward the rear.
This forms close to a right angle at at the front of the grip and where the rear of the grip intersects the stock and looks good
Some have put the convex forward and concave rear, but never look right to my eye.
Either works fine, just a matter of preference. it is easy to over-do an S-curve.

One of the most elegant grip treatments was on one of Michael's rifle, a roller iirc., but among more common rifles the Winchester 1885 has the most beautiful and fusiform of grips, not at all dissimilar to the Syracuse gun.
