Yup, That would be great to see standing in the front row! Still looks good from where is sit

I never did see the John Dutcher collection and I have regretted not making time to see it.

Ballards are first rate. Very cool.

Did I see that collection there in '14 at the hotel near the airport? Saw lots of NICE rifles, but yours are something else!

That's a can of DuPont smokeless schuetzen powder.

Same boards, but different Ballards. Wasn't there in '14, but was there last year. Same place at the Holiday Inn Convention Center.

There are three Schoyen Ballards on the display. Two on the table, and one above the cased Schoyen on the right. It's a Ballard Rifle Co. Schoyen.
The bottom left gun on the board is a Zettler Bros. Ballard out of NY City. Largest indoor range in the world in the early 1900's. Couple of engraved Ballards 2nd down left and right. Couple Union Hills #8 and #9. (top right, and 2nd down left) Tope left is a #2 Hunter factory done up in Union Hill style deluxe.
