Mississippi Rifle

Gents-

On one of my browsing sessions I found this "Mississippi Rifle" for sale on a dealer's website. I am not very knowledgable about weapons but it does seem to be a nice example that he says was purchased directly from a family in South Carolina. Anyway quite a bit of eye candy after all the hardtack we been a chew'on lately ;)
