Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.

    "Flayderman's Guide" shows that the lockplate marking is from a post Civil War, Model 1870, Sharps made in Springfield Arsenal, in 50-70 centerfire.

    I don't see it being a big buck item because of the above. Seems to me some back woods bubba, made a percussion shotgun using a Sharps lockplate?

    That lock plate has been severely cut and reshaped in order to fit that stock. It's just a junker and was never made by Sharps.

    This is what a Model 1870 Sharps lock looks like:
