This rifle was in my dad's collection when he passed away last year. Some members may have known him. I'll be happy to respond to such inquiries privately. For now, I would like to share this rifle: It, and (3) others, were made by a Limestone, AL gunsmith in 1862. They were presented to the '17th Alabama Sharpshooters'. Those units were almost 100% composed of Cherokee enlistees. Comments welcomed.
