The first time I visited Cody, the summer of 1980, there was a lifter 10-ga/.44 caliber that was identified as belonging to an army officer. That was about a decade before I began recording details of observations. I haven't seen it on subsequent visits. It was in the Buffalo Bill display, not the firearms area.

I was there in about 2007 or so Dave and I saw it too. I have a couple of pretty poor pics of it through the glass complete with reflections but I have a much better pic of the brass attribution plaque and the legend on the card in the display describing it…. now all I need to do is to find those pics so I can post them…
