Hi Sidelock;
Thanks for your fast reply but I'm afraid you misunderstood my questions.
I'm owning just the rifle, not the case.
The only pictures I saw in the past was of one cased rifle, what makes me believe that Sharps rifles might have been sold in their original gun cases, was sold in a James D. Julia auction and the other one was shown in a report about a rich guy from New York who fired his Sharps only one time and, because of the heavy recoil, never again.
That's why I'm asking whether the Sharps Company offered such cases on request with the gun or not and whether they used factory labels as well.
I hope this helps to make my questions better understanding.
Best regards Dieter
