Trust you’re well Can you clear up the question of the 7 barrelled gun which Harper carries through the series,which was a gift from Sharpe to Harper (1) Was it the same gun which the Marine sargeant uses in Sharpe’s Trafalger which Sharpe admires (after all theft from the work place is rife!) (2) Is the actual gift of the gun recorded in print as i’ve read all the books and the gun just seems to appear. Andy Houghton
