TexasHunter Report post Posted July 30, 2010 So it has been a rumor that when my 4x great grandpa got to Texas from Germany he met Buffalo Bill. Rumor has it Baffalo Bill was so impressed by how good of a shot my Grandpa was he gave him a 45-70 from his collection, to replace the old German rifle he had. Now my Unlce (who is full of BS) says he contacted the Cody musem gave them the numbers from the gun and they told him it was one of four guns missing from the collection at the museum. He then goes on to say he lost the paper work to prove it. So I called his bs and now have the serial numbers from the gun. So my question is how could I go about finding the history of the gun out?
