Unquestionable, one of the most solid and outstanding Confederate capture guns ever discovered. There was a quote that Paul Newman used in the movie "Cool Hand Luke" that I said to myself when I first laid eyes on this item, "HOLY CRAP"! The quote was then repeated by well-known dealer Damon Mills and a host of my customers at the last Baltimore Show of a few months ago as we huddled to inspect this item over and over throughout the weekend. The gun and holster are described AND PICTURED in several articles in "turn of the century" "Confederate Veterans Magazines" as well as other newspapers describing the man who wears it, the inscription upon it, and the history behind it. The set comes with copies of several of these period newspaper and magazine articles and photos about the man and this weapon, as well as an ORIGINAL FRAMED PHOTO THAT LEAVES NO DOUBT AS TO ITS ORIGINALITY.
