Quote from a recent rerun on Antiques Road Show, "APPRAISER: Okay, well, we're going to get to condition here in a minute, but what I will tell you is that it is a Confederate-made gun. It's made by the firm of Dickson and Nelson. It's marked on the back. You can plainly see it says Alabama and the date, 1865. That might lead us to believe that the gun was made in Alabama, but actually, it's made in Dawson, Georgia. It was made under contract for the state of Alabama."
Do they mean Dawson, Terrell Co., GA or Dawson Co., GA.
Another quote form the same show, "This one is probably walnut. It's a wonderful Confederate gun. If this were a U.S. model 1841 Mississippi rifle, we would think this to be kind of fair condition, and maybe it would be worth $1,500 to $2,000. But as a Confederate gun, because it is so nice and the condition is wonderful, it's a desirable item. If I had this, I would want somewhere between $30,000 and $40,000 for it."
Wouldn't you like to find that in your attic?
