Thanks Pete, the Rockwood photo is of the 1874 team. The Harpers woodcut is of the 1875 team and the picture I’m looking for. I took the pictures I posted from an original Harper’s Weekly.

I have a lot of Bodine info including his obituary. Bodine owned a large collection of firearms and one source believed that his family sold the collection before WWI.
His Sharps Borchardt sold at the Amber auction and it has the same Remington barrel, forend without checkering, rounded rubber forend tip and front-sight set back 1 ½” . All Circumstantial evidence but have to start somewhere.

As time allows I will spend more time looking for the original picture.
