Posted this before, but this German made rifle was found before the war around 1930ish over in a cliff shelter on the Pedernales river maybe a couple of miles from the ranch here. Don’t know where exactly as Uncle Gordon that found it was killed in the Po river valley in 1944. He found two rifles. The other one got tore up as a cowboy & indian toy

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
