Posters

This copy of a 1881 Winchester poster depicts numerous cartridges and shotshells with prices, Winchester Model 1876 and Hotchkiss rifles, and loading tools. These are high quality posters, and appear to be fairly old. Some show slight darkening at the edges which will not be evident when they are matted and framed. These measure 25" x 35", and are priced at $25 each.  Enlarge this picture

This 1883 Smith & Wesson poster depicts eight top break revolvers with prices and optional extras, ammunition prices, and reloading tools. These are not the best copies, as they have some scattered small areas around the border detail that did not print, but they are still quite interesting and have lots of great information regarding the pistols and options that were available at the time.They measure 18" x 24" and are priced at $10 each.

This poster is a coppy of an original drawing by Winston O. Smith, which appears as plate 15 in his 1943 book The Sharps Rifle, the first book devoted to Christian Sharps and his rifle. Measuring 16" x 21", it depicts front and rear views of Sharps Model 1851, 1855, 1852 (& 1853), and 1859 (& later models) locks. These are drawn in minute detail to scale, with all parts shown with their correct markings. Just prior to Mr. Smith's death in the early 1980s, 500 copies of the drawing were produced on heavy stock; all were signed by Mr. Smith and 200 of these were numbered. These are priced at $20 for a signed and numbered copy; $15 if just signed. Because the pictures of this poster a reduces so much, the lines in the drawings look a bit broken up. These copies are the same high quality as the original drawing, from which the illustration in the book was made. Enlarge this picture
