Good afternoon
Today visited a special display at the State Museum of arms used at a local battle about 1880. The Comblain (far right photo) is the 1874 Chilean version made in Leige Belguim. A simple falling block design.
Also were displayed bayonets, cartriges, uniforms and camp equipment.

If only they could talk. Imagine
Very interesting another good place to visit is the Cody Museum in Cody WY. They have a great display of guns there. I have been there twice and would like to go again. Thanks Mike for the pics.
