I wanted to add that one of the display guns was the Ulrich engraved B grade Parker. There are only a few Ulrich engraved Parkers, so people who were interested in fine guns of historical significance were interested in inspecting this firearm. The gun came through the Borden estate ( Borden/Carnation Foods), as a Borden daughter was married to Ulrich. There were other guns of historical significance, notably the full series of hammer Parkers that were displayed. Those who knew firearms spent a lot of time with those. Naturally, the high grade guns, the unusual damascus and the Bernards attracted much interest.
