BlueTrain, thanks for reminding me of many happy hours spent browsing thru Hunters Haven in Alexandria. Rows & rows of milsurp rifles, & of course the anti-tank guns & cannons outside.
We lived in Falls Church in 1962, & I'd scurry down there every chance I got.
Finances were tight, so browsing was about all I could do.
But I still have the Italian 1889 Bodeo revolver I bought there, with $10 I managed to put together --- there was a big wooden crate on the counter, full of them. $10 -- those were the days.
