No, it was definitely the Buffalo Bill Historical Center as it was called then. I was travelling across country the summer of 1980 and made a conscious decision to go there because the Winchester collection had just been installed there in the firearms wing. At that time there were three museums, the Buffalo Bill, the firearms and the Plains Indian. At that time when one entered the rotunda Buffalo Bill was to the left, Plains Indian straight ahead and firearms to the right. The Whitney Western Art Museum and the Draper Natural History Museum were added later. The gun I mentioned was in the main hall of the upper level of Buffalo Bill wing just outside the room with the Wild West Show display. At that time the basement of that wing had a large travelling display from the Colt Museum.
