Hello,
I am looking for help in identifying the three-letter cartouche on a Sharps New Model 1859 carbine. The last two letters appear to be an "A" and a "T". I am not sure about the first letter. The cartouche above this one is "TA", which I have been told stands for the inspector, John Taylor. Any information on either cartouche would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Howard
