1859 .54 caliber Sharps Berdan Rifle.

As Mike Weber pointed out in another thread. That image is not a 1859 Sharps Berdan.

From what I can tell a 1859 Sharps Berdan is not a even a flintlock. Its a percussion.

Take a look at the closed auction link. There are some nice pics of a 1859 Berdan and they look nothing like the firearm you posted.

Also, A bit off topic. But you have stated previously that you are a christian. I clearly remember a story you told of an issue in Afghanistan -------> Not welcome in afghanistan
So what's with the muslim greeting at the end of your post?

just to be clear ...this is not a personal attack. Couldn't care less about your religion, Just find is strange for a christian to close with a muslim greeting.

I am surprised you remembered that former post of mine! Read well the taxi driver assumed we were Christian dogs! After what I have seen and experienced in this world I became an Atheist! I have no relegion at all!

As-salāmu ʿalaykum is a greeting in Arabic that means "Peace be upon you". The salaam is a religious salutation among Muslims when greeting, though it is also used by Arabic speakers of other religions, such as Arab Christians.

For me greeting with As-salāmu ʿalaykum is like saying howdy! For me that PEACE is not peace for the soul! For me its make piece and not war!

In my house and office a lot of people come for tea! A big collection of religions from all over the world! The hearts of these visitors is filled with one god however - AK47-

If they leave with an invoice I wish every one As-salāmu ʿalaykum personaly! Tragic is that none of them has ever listened

Have a good cigar and regards
As-salāmu ʿalaykum
