We had an original Gillespie Rifle in the family for many years. As a kid I remember playing cowboy and Indians with it. We had no idea of it's value and it was played with so much it literally broke into pieces. The Gillespie Rifle helped turn the tide at Kings Mountain during the American Revolution. These rifles were made in NC near the SC line.

Can anyone tell for sure if that's a Confederate officer's uniform?

Confederate uniforms weren’t very uniform. Materials and dyes varied by availability and often Confederate soldiers wore local county and state militia uniforms. Officers often had uniforms made by local tailors and such uniforms often differed from official patterns.

SN validates to April 1945 (one month before the surrender of Germany). The Russian army has surrounded Berlin. Hitler is dead. German army groups are marching west to surrender to the Americans. The children and old people of Berlin are given 1 shot crude rifles to stop the Russians.

BUT

In the mountains at the Walther factor in Zella-Mehlis, someone had a cased, fully engraved, gold plated PPK with 2 numbered and matching magazines and fire blued small parts, custom made for them. The factory could have made hundreds of military pistols in the time and man hours this piece of "bling" took to create.
 
Liked the tactical scope.Good price.Im amazed at how much the prices for rifles have gone up .I paid 80 bucks in the late 80,s early 90,s and now I see them from 700 to over 1200 bucks on some popular gun sites.I would never sell it though its too good of a rifle and if loved should last another 100 or more.75 percent (approx.) of ww1 American soldiers used a m1917 and as late as ww2 until production of the garand ramped up it was still a main battle rifle.Was a favorite of some snipers as it was a very reliable accurate rifle though a tad porky.Its also my loaner hunting rifle as you really cant hurt it and is fool proof.Would anybody have some 30.06 recipes for long range loads?
