Thanks, Max. That's good to know when I get around to that rifle.

Absolutely gorgeous examples, very impressive. And no idea about the guy in the horned hat but it's too cool!

Nice, You are very fortunate to have the honor of recording, documenting and doing the YOU TUBE video's to give us a peek of the vast collection that the museum has in their possession!

Those are some of best ones. I didn't show an engraved revolver or the Greener shotgun that are awaiting future videos.

OK, I'll put my "slobber bib" on before I watch the next one! Thanks Evan!

Beautiful guns. I look forward to seeing more from this collection. Today one of the plumbers on my job site found a side by side hammer shotgun with Damascus barrels in a brain tan buckskin sleeve under the insulation in the attic of a small lake house that was built in the 1920s. The lock plate is stamped "the leader Belgium ". Not a spot of rust on it. It made for quite the bit of excitement on the site as most of the fellas on the site are at least interested in firearms if not full on gun nuts. Fun to uncover a bit of history.

Belgium was a center of firearms innovation and manufacturing in the 19th century. Many of those guns ended up in the United States and were put to good use.

Absolutely beautiful artifacts, Evan. Thanks for the preview. 👍

Mr. Green, I most always have my jaw to the ground with your videos but today's showings were spectacular. I look forward to hearing your theories and histories on this new collection.
