JW, It may be a long shot but if you know a police officer he may be able to get his forensic unit to try and resurrect the dealer name if it was ever stamped. I have had firearms with serial numbers filed off that were retrieved in this way.
Confederate records would be much more difficult to locate than Union ones I imagine. Over the past 40 years I have had the privilege to visit most of the major battlefields of the Civil War and they are indeed impressive. It is hard to believe that what is now serene parklands were so full of such terrible and deadly conflict not so long ago. The National Parks Service does a wonderful job in maintaining and interpreting for visitors these hallowed grounds.
