We're thrilled to launch our first research bounty and we need your help! We've recently acquired a fascinating relic - a US Model 1841 Mississippi rifle, unearthed from what seems to be a Civil War battlefield.

The accompanying plaque claims it hails from the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse, but we're still piecing together the full story. Our mission? To return this piece of history to its rightful place or at least, to its rightful story.

Here's where you come in:

Ever seen this rifle? Perhaps you've spotted it proudly displayed at Nordic Gun & Pawn. Did you chat with the owner? Ask if it was for sale?

Do you have any leads? Any stories or information that could help us confirm its origins or its journey?

If you've got any information, no matter how small, we'd love to hear from you. Let's unravel this historical mystery together!
