Then, as the story goes, it was lost or stolen-as Craig mentioned. I wonder if it had a serial number? Was it issued to Corbett to use in service or did it personally belong to him? Hey Bill, You bring up a good question about serial numbers. I still remember mine from Boot Camp and that was 26 years ago! There were so many weapons manufactured during the Civil War and by so many different companies. I believe that most weapons had serial #s, but I doubt if a particular weapon could be traced to a certain individual like they can today. Somebody probably owns Corbett's revolver today and has absolutely no idea of its historical significance.

I was unaware that the old building where Corbett was locked away was still in existence. I might actually have to plan another trip out there. Craig |
