Fingerprint: Two Western gunslingers standing shoulder to shoulder aiming chrome revolvers in opposite directions, moustached man in bright blue hat and blonde woman in tan cowboy hat with fringed buckskin jacket, four more revolver barrels jutting in from left and right frame edges, SHARP SHOOTER title stacked and centred in red and yellow lettering
The single most memorable element is the pair of Western gunslingers, a moustached man in a bright blue hat and a blonde woman in a tan cowboy hat and fringed buckskin jacket, standing shoulder to shoulder and aiming chrome revolvers in opposite directions. Four more revolver barrels jut in from the left and right frame edges, so six guns radiate out from the centre. The title SHARP SHOOTER is stacked and centred across their bodies, with the word SHARP in red cursive sitting directly above the blockier SHOOTER. Yellow circled numerals 1 to 4 label four red score panels across the top and four across the bottom, and the word PLAYERS appears beside four gold numbered circles at upper right.

A printed backglass with a Wild-West gunfight theme, framed by a black cabinet bezel and photographed against dark blue carpet. Two cartoon Old West figures dominate the centre: at left a moustached man in a bright blue wide-brimmed hat, cream shirt, red neckerchief and brown leather vest, aiming a chrome revolver down and to the left; at right a woman with long wavy blonde hair in a tan cowboy hat with a beaded hatband, wearing a red top and white fringed buckskin jacket, pointing a second revolver up and to the right. Four additional revolver barrels enter from the left and right edges, so six guns in all point outward. The background is a flat lavender sky with white smoke streaks, red rock buttes at the sides and yellow desert ground. A large curved logo reading SHARP SHOOTER sits across their waists, SHARP in red italic script with a yellow outline, SHOOTER in fat yellow-and-white slab letters with black outlines. Four red segmented score windows sit along the top and four along the bottom, each marked with a small yellow circled number. Gold rope-and-medallion corner ornaments frame the artwork on black.
