William Dickson and Owen Nelson founded the firm that produced the rare Dickson, Nelson rifles.  Their company was named the Shakanoosa Arms Co, but few collectors know them by that name.  Their .58 calibre rifle was modeled after the US Model 1841 rifle with walnut or cherry stock and brass mountings.  The barrel was 33" fastened by two bands with a brass nose cap at forend.  This example is very nice with original parts and no apologies.
