This item is currently being researched to authenticate the provenance of its past presentation and ownership. We ask that anyone familiar with this piece or the backround associated with the information provided on the brass plaque to contact us to help with the proper identification of this artifact. It was supposedly the former property of Margaret Wilder Wieser who's husband and direct descendant of John T. Wilder, died in 1972. This gun was reported (on the plaque) as having been presented to Colonel John T. Wilder by the "Friends and Citizens of Greensburg, Indiana". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
