The guns in the display cases other than Parkers are as follows if I can remember correctly without refering to the photos that I took.
A couple of Aubry Single shots, a couple of Meriden Doubles, a higher quality Crescent And a couple of the Parker, Show & Brooks Rifle Muskets.

There was a very nice range of Parkers on display. Several Hammer Guns which included one of the first T latch guns made, a very interesting buttplate safety hammer gun and a top action with no rib extension "transition gun". I was impressed at the condition of the T-Latch gun. It was much nicer than published photos make it look. There was also a PH grade and a DH grade on display, along with others that I have not mentioned.
And not to mention the two Tripplet & Scot carbines that were donated by Jim.

I took several pictures of everything from the day. Will not be able to download them until Monday night when I get home or on Tuesday.
