My dad has an old Webley pistol he bought 40 years ago 150 miles from the little bighorn. He thinks it may have belonged to Custer. I have pictures and a serial number. it has the initials C.G. on it. he says military back then put the last initials first.(Custer, George) He is 95 years old. how can I post pictures or can you refer me to someone who may have knowledge of this?
