I have been offered a copy of “Sharpe’s Sword” described as a first edition, but apparently the publishing history states “First published in 1983 Rifleman publications in 1983”, The title page shows ‘Published by Collins in 1983’. I’d be grateful if you could let me know if this IS a first edition, and what relevance the ‘Rifleman Publications has. With many thanks in anticipation of your help. David Siddons
