The staff at the Ranger Museum do not know what they have and do not look very carefully. I mailed them several requests for information of a Republic of Texas soldier and Ranger with no response. Went by the museum personaly later and the soldier has a large display case at the entrance with his rifle and accouterments. In addition to a large file in their archives with info from the descendent who gave them the rifle.
As suggested in a prior post. Send more important clues.
Most importantly,contact the Texas State Archives in Austin. Attention:Donally Brice.Request a search of ALL Files.
