Thank you Sir.

I was fortunate enough to pick up this fellow, a Shiloh Sharps Model 100 in 50 caliber with a serial number of 20X. I thought I would share some photo's. It was advertised as unfired and there is a full binder of correspondence between the factory and the original owner in1978-1979. All of the information that I can find lists .54 caliber bullet sizes and loads. Information in the binder Shiloh states the chamber holds 100 grains of 2F but nothing on cast bullet size.

Thanks,
O.R.

I'd be very interested in seeing more detailed photos, specifically the barrel roll marks and receiver markings.

@thomasgunn Please see the attached. Apoligizes for the poor quality as these are the quick few I took the day that I picked it up, and it will be a bit until I can take any more. I just returned home from my 2nd shoulder replacement today.

Thanks,
O.R.
