I have an Italian .50-110 Sharps Business Rifle that is marked made in Italy and Palmetto I do not believe its a Pedolisi (Spelling) but it is an older replica. Any Info would be appreciated The Rifle is Probably 90 to 95% and Info on market value would also be helpfull as I am considering selling it in the future.

    I have no personal knowledge of this rifle. However, what I have heard is that it is a lesser quality firearm, not measuring up in any manner to Uberti or Pedersoli arms. Dixie Gun Works sells some of the replica guns made by Palmetto. www.dixiegunworks.com

    Palmetto made the Garrett Sharps in the 1980s, which has a good reputation, even on the Shiloh board. Some say quality slipped after Mr Garrett quit handling their products, I just don't know.
    I have read that Pedersoli started making Sharps on machinery bought when Palmetto quit.
