Could have been done postmortem by whoever retrieved it after he fell... could be a poser from that time too, but there is a plausible scenario at least where it COULD be the real deal.Yes they do.
On the bottom rifle , this is carved :
"Bill Willyums , His Rifle "
Now there was a mountain man named Bill Williams...this rifle came from the area where he trapped and was killed....it is also from the time period.....
Two things :
One , Bill Williams was literate and knew how to spell his name...
And two , I am not saying that this rifle was in fact his rifle....but there are many things about it , that make one wonder.
I keep promising that I am going to do a write up of this rifle....one day soon....

There are times for facts and times for faith--everybody needs something to believe. Me, I believe I'm gonna go get another Dr Pepper and try to shake this damnable withdrawal headache...
