If anybody in Central N.Y. or the southern tier or North central PA. is interested, there is a showing of mostly muzzle loaders of the civil war era along with some powder horns from as far back as the French & Indian war. It is in Owego N.Y. at 110 front St. The Tioga County Historical Museum. I will post some pictures later.

You are very welcome! My wife gets many thanks also, she is the one that took me and wouldn't tell me what we were doing. She is friends on face book with numerous historical societies is how she found out about it. Here is another pic top one is an over under double barrel percussion rifle.
