Where in NY? the State or the City, does Bannerman & Sons still exist, and if it does, do they still have such a display it would be worth seeing. I'm just a black powder hunter and shooter and have never heard of them but I love to look at museum and private collections when time, money and opportunity present.
Thanks for any info you can provide.

I agree with you all...I'm just trying to figure out what he, she or it is trying to prove...This is a fine group, and I know I don't post often, because I'm in the shutup, listen and learn mode...
And I believe in standing up proud of who I am...Also have been known to associate with the likes of Hawk Pierce (VBG)....Thanks to you all for the continuing education....

FYI...
Rex Norman will be writing a new feature in Muzzleloader Magazine
starting in the March/April edition.
The feature will be entitled "The Far West." He says he already has the
first three submissions completed, with ten more in the works. Most of
you should recognize Rex's name from his fine chapter in the Book of
Buckskinning VIII and his sketch book based on Alfred Miller's paintings.
Naturally this feature will focus on the western fur trade period.
Hoorah for Mountain Doins!
