This is why I ask others to look at it and possibly get a picture. The rifle I remember had nothing in common with a G&H.

The museum is satisfied with the attribution, done by experts in their opinion, so I was getting nowhere with email or phone.

In the overall scope of things it's not a big deal and this is normal with dealings with large organizations. I'm just curious about the rifle and intrigued.

Back about 1976??? I was at the cowboy hall of fame in Oklahoma City. On the lower level they has a western gunshop. There was a display of about six Sharps rifles, all were marked with the wrong information. I brought it to their attention and was politely told to take a hike. Before I left, I had a black felt tip marker in my pocket, they were all correctly labeled smile

That's awesome! I've politely pointed out discrepancies at places and been given the same, "Thank you, we don't give a damn' response. Or even better is the, 'Yes, we've been told that before!'. mad
Never had the chance to make an on-the-spot correction, though!
