A historic site near home called Janney Furnace. Confederate Iron Furnace near Ohatchee, Alabama, with it's own museum. Check out how some of the items are identified.

Unfortuantely, I cannot read the descriptions other than for the Sharps Cartridge packet....

Sorry about that. Didn't realize that until I posted. There is a '51 Navy ID'd as a '60 Army, yet it looks like a .44, odd. Plan on getting back with them and see if I can get some out of case photos. First Savage I've ever seen in person.

There is another, much larger museum nearby, completely forgot about. The Berman Museum of World History. A large gun collection from 1860's forward, complete with a Gatling Gun with the circular magazine and a Winchester with a solid ivory buttstock and forearm. As soon as I get a chance, I will go forth and take photos and post what I can after getting their permission to do so.
