    New to me Nepalese Sharps percussion

    I picked up a Sharps 1853 percussion copy by the Nepalese last weekend. I have been doing my research from the little bit available, and think this one is one of the later production Nepalese guns and not one of the earlier ones that is probably a scrubbed American Sharps gun. It is better made that some of the other Nepalese guns, but has the all around roughness of their domestic production. Also, it does not have the takedown lever of the earlier guns.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.
