Default Frederick the Greats rifle by the vet who captured it

Here's a real piece of history. Charles Downey of Pleasanton Texas was in the MI section which crossed the Elbe River the night before the Russians got there and went through Fredericks castle and quickly crossed back. I bought this and many other relics from him.
