Milwaukee Museum collection; about 6 years ago I had a private showing of the firearms collection. I examined about 5 or 6 Meunier muzzleloading schuetzen rifles and a similar number of Ballards modified by the same maker. Also, one of the few remaining Ferguson breechloading flinters left over from the spoils at King's mtn. My frienc, who has left, was Director of Collections and Exhibitions. Just 25 years
ago the Smithsonian had long racks of rifles and you could get a close look at a half dozen Hawken rifles plus others too numerous to mention. Last time I visited the display had be "dumbed down" with only a few pieces on display. Years ago as a kid before they built the Air and Space complex aircraft were housed in quonset huts. Most were parked nose down and what fun for a kid to touch some of those
WW1 engines and machine guns.
