Oh, Lawd, Can it be!!!!
« on: September 26, 2005, 02:40:44 PM »
I went to repair my brothers Mother in law's Computer
a couple of days ago and I noticed a decoration on her wall.
It appears to be a Tiny Little Webley revolver of about .32 caliber.
I was drooling in her floor and then she asked if I would
like to see her great gran-daddys rifle. Of course I said
while wiping the slobber from my face... Never in a million years
would I thought I would have seen what she brought out..
A Beautiful Austrian Lorenz rifled musket of about 59 or 60 caliber.
It has apparently been in her family since Great Gran-daddy
carried it in the American Civil war. This thing should be in the SMITHSONIAN !!!! Man what a TREASURE!

I know the feeling my wifes sister in law has an orginal flintlock, a damascus doubled barreled shotgun and a flint lock pistol too and her family history goes back before the civil war. I'm sick when i see them hanging on the walls.
