In fact, I don't think anyone can even show he even knew it existed at all. So if a gun of such stature can bring the big bucks I don't see why my Lincoln's Gun can't do the same. The fact that he was dead a little while before I bought it for him means nothing. There's no law that says I can't buy a gift for the deceased.

Then it was L C Smith built for the Czar??
