George, George, George - The gun was lost & obviously later found. It was not STOLEN! Perhaps the original finder had no idea who Nash Buckingham or Burt Becker were just as several on this forum admitted that they didn't know who they were either. I'm certainly no lawyer, sea or otherwise, I only practice a little real estate. However, as someone aptly pointed out: "possession is 9/10ths. of the law". Those were much different times back then & wishing someone be prosecuted without having all the facts seem a bit childish to me. There is too much real crime out there that needs to be dealt with. Those are my views on the subject. By the way at this moment I am told the gun is 3 or 4 states away. I can only guess which states away from where?

Best Regards, George l
