Weapons can adequately replenish collections of museums and private collections. In the antique market, four-barreled Sharps pistols are in constant demand. Sharps British pistols were produced from 1874 to 1877. After the death of Christian Sharps, the rights to manufacture the pistol were acquired by Tipping & Lawden from Birmingham (England), which produced not only weapons of the usual caliber, but also 6 mm, 7 mm and 9 mm for European consumers. The exact number of manufactured pistols is not known, but judging by their serial numbers, there were about 100 thousand. Sharps pistols were produced from 1859 to 1874 in large numbers.
