I don't know about the gun, but that sure looks like some nice memorabilia....
Exactly...
And the provenance that goes along with it... Wow!

From the looks of the blood stain etching on the sabre he had seen the elephant.

Yep... my 'Oops' on that.
Looks like an 1851 Colt Navy to me. Percussion goes without saying. Guess I just did, anyway!
