Muderlak visited DuBray's last living Grandson and viewed all the Custer documents years ago. He had several of the originals on loan and I handled them when I was visiting him one time. He knew of the gun, I believe examined it on one occasion, but never wrote about it for one reason or the other.
The pigeon gun Ed owned was a hammerless and had been the personal gun of S.A. Tucker.
