Hi,
I have attached a photo of the brass strap on a Colt 1849 pistol. This pistol was recovered from a flooded basement as it is in poor condition. However, the engraving on the brass piece is still readable. Is there a website or any other manner in which I may be able to track down the owner of this pistol if used during the Civil War? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Howard
