Senior Curator at the National Firearms Museum Doug Wicklund is traveling to Medora, N.D. to appraise guns in the historic backdrop of the Cowboy Hall of Fame.


The NRABlog writes:


"The "Gun Road Show" visits the Cowboy Hall of Fame the weekend of June 12-13, and Wicklund isn't coming alone - he's bringing the famous Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum revolver Clint Eastwood used in his films Dirty Harry and Magnum Force.


Wicklund will be evaluating firearms from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday and 12 to 3 p.m. Sunday at the Hall, located at 250 Main Street in Medora. Organizers will enforce a one-firearm-per-person limit, and participants need to have their firearms checked at the door. "The last time I was in Medora, some fantastic guns came in for me to review,” Wicklund said. “I'm looking forward to seeing more pieces of Western history."


On Saturday, Wicklund will present a free seminar titled “Guns of the West” at 7 p.m. Learn about famous guns of outlaws and lawmen as well as more modern Hollywood guns that won the cinematic West, many of which are on display at the National Firearms Museum in Fairfax, VA.”

I have a unique rifle with many inlays estimated to be from the 1814 to 1860 era with no manufacturer identification. Can you recommend someone who would be able to provide an identification and category for this rifle? Thank you.
