That's one hell of a museum. Is it still there? If not, did you get all of those fine guns?  |
I have very good lighting options, but none of them helped. There is just too little contrast, and the pencil marks in this case don't reflect light.
The museum closed in the 80's. Most of the collection was sold over the years, but I still have some of the things Dad Loved the most. Most of these items predate the war of 1812, and many are are hundreds of years older than that. If Lee says it is ok, I'll post some links.
