Still amazed that the Garfield assassination weapon is missing. Any further information on this story?

What bothers me about these things is that they may be in the hands of someone who has no idea of their historical significance. She didn't leave a will or anything mentioning such a precious artifact??! Soooo d--n FRUSTRATING!!! |
