A rare, defective Civil War gun with Hoosier ties is up for auction this week.
Appraisers don't know who used it in the war and won't say who's selling it.
Just about the only thing about the weapon that isn't shrouded in mystery is that it will sell — and for a lot of money, at that.
"I've done gun shows from Baltimore to Las Vegas, almost 50 years," said Ed Higginbotham, 84, who was asked by an appraiser to help evaluate the weapon. "I've seen virtually everything you could imagine — but I've never seen a Morse carbine."
