I bet in that condition the holster is worth more than the pistol! Maybe I should ask them for occasional "family visitation", so I can take her home to spend time with her relatives at my house. ;)

It is a beauty and a centerpiece for almost any collector!

 

Thanks, Jack. Part of me wishes in was in my personal collection to shoot on occasion, but the other part of me is happy it is cared for in the right context of the museum.

I would just stare at it, and maybe hold it once in a while!

I can highly recommend the Norwich Miseum to anyone finding themselves in the vicinity of Northfield, VT. Very professionally done!
