This is totally bogus. Yes, Jacob Dickert had no sons. He did have a daughter but none of her children took the name of Dickert.

Jacob Dickert did not almost go bankrupt. He had a large operation.

There is no documentation and there are NO EXAMPLES of a DECKARD rifle. There are no occupations listed as gunsmith in VA census. This is all wishful thinking. The person who started all this is unwilling to share his information with the world and that is because he has none.
