Nice find! I have heard of widows finding the old mans gun after he is gone and throwing it away! Yes, really. My Fathers cousins husband helped a buddy move out of Arlington,Va in the late 1950's and the guy took his civil war long guns and put them in the trash can as they packed. That's how "Duke" came to have several cool old guns! That gun it just too nice to be in a dumb and I volunteer to take much better care if it if and when required. Just let me know and I will let you know where to send it. Kyle
