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.

I looked at the photos online and I see what looks like a weep hole in one of the barrels. Hope no one hot blued it. Will be very interesting to see the hammer price

Right Destry, Muderlak's letter to that grandson is included in the article. The grandson actually sent the original documents, letters, and such to Ed and he and Nancy were blown away that the originals (not copies) were sent for his examination.And I believe you're right in that Ed had personally examined the gun.
I think Ed was gentleman enough to have discussed with the grandson the gun and its provenance and that it should someday go to auction in order to realize its true potential among the collecting public and that he would keep a lid on it until such time. .

Yes, he mailed them to the house, that's where I saw them. Then Ed flew out to California and returned them so he could look at some other things the old fella had. The guy lived in an ancient trailer on a piece of land that was worth millions of dollars. While Ed was there some Real Estate Scalper actually came beating on the door and the guy threatened to call the police before he would leave. He told Ed it happened daily, that his land was worth millions, but he had no reason to sell and didn't need the money.
