WHAT no documentation??????
WHAT no pic????

Do you buy this story???

Funny how things like this seem to crop up after movie or book hits the streets.

    Most of the firearms that I saw in the mass battle scence looked as though they were wooden mockups.

    Pack slow, fall stable, pull high, hit dead center.

    Agree w/ SP and will add that there are some weasel words used in the listing and also it seems funny that it's a "one time" offer at a "low price".

    If someone were to buy this they should go through escrow with the sale being conditional upon examination and confirmation by an independent expert.

    Nicole Kidman personally rubbed linseed oil into the stock of this unique carbine!

    The underside of the barrel is autographed by Abraham Lincoln!

    This is the rifle that was used to kill Stonewall Jackson!

    I bid a buck!

    I haven't seen the movie yet, but I want to. Bad idea?

    Such a VALUABLE gun, but not one pic? I smell something here, and it ain't roses.

    Even if he had a pic posted, I'd be afraid to buy it. There's so much counterfeit CW stuff out there, it takes someone who has really studied history to know the difference.
