Calling all antique arms buffs

[alwynsw]

The Frazier Arms Museum plans to open it's doors on May 22, 2004 in Louisville, Ky. They will be sharing collections with the Royal Armouries with plans to rotate artifacts every three years.

I'll definitely be there for the opening. I just heard on tonight's local news that the opening display will include the only rifle in existence that was positively owned by George Washington. Of course, Custer's matched Navy Colts won't be too shabby, either. The whole shootin' match will include weapons spanning ten centuries. Ought to be interesting.

Here's an older story on the museum:

1. Awesome!

I love ancient black powder arms!

I just wish I could afford some authentic ones, but I'll settle for reproductions.
