All the information I provided was testimonial info provided to me by family members. I Cannot verify the info now as most of the involved players are deceased. A spoke with The Soldiers wife/widow and she remembered her husband bringing "a short pretty rifle with a deer head" home from Germanyicon when he returned in 46, 47 the story of origin was what he allegedly provided to her and can not be verified further but it all seemed to fit known timelines but I know from experience we all are completely "truthful" with our wives on the cost and origin of all of our firearms.
