"... I wonder what others in the group would like to find in their great
aunt's attic, or just under the tree in a few months?" 

Cool question!  I think on the top of my wish list would be the Model 1859
Sharps Carbine issued to Corporal Levi S. Shafer of the 8th Illinois
Cavalry.  This is the gun that Lieutenant Marcellus Jones borrowed to fire
the opening shot of the battle.
