A wonderful article......thank you.
If you are ever in the Berryville, Arkansas area, the Saunders Museumis a must see. It's the most extensive handgun collection I've ever seen outside the Smithsonian or NRA museum.

Thanks for that tip Bender, I'll make it a point to see the Saunders Museum in the not distant future. I'm not a "collector" but I do like to take in old firearm collections whenever I get the chance. I've see some beautiful collections both public and private. And national armory museum collections in Western Europe and several Eastern European countries.
