I was at Puglisi Arms Emporium in Duluth, Minnesota this weekend, which is a dream shop for hunters who enjoy classic and vintage firearms. If they had a cappuccino maker, I would have rolled out a sleeping bag and moved in for the whole weekend.

Among the many remarkable items they had were Mark Twain's pistol, which I handled, and one of Teddy Roosevelt's pith helmets that he used during of his African safari(s) - in fact, they let me try it on for size!

I am envious, glad you had as good time. Did any treasures follow you home?

I read an older thread that mentioned you having some 9.3x64 brass. Do you still have some? I am looking for 100 pcs, maybe 200.
A wonderful trip to Hungary with a very special friend !
