Robert and Linda Melanon paid good money and exchanged some antique guns to get a Jacob Sheetz made rifle whose provenance traced back to the Battle of New Orleans. The trouble is that while they had possession, the store that sold it to them could not pass title onto them. Ultimately it was seized by the FBI and returned to the Museum.
