Steve T. and his award winning
display of Great Guns of the Old West.
Steve is a law enforcement officer with a military background, and
he enjoys shooting many of these fine antiques.
Here are some samples of the
educational displays presented by UGCA members.
We hope you enjoy them. Part of the pleasure of
gun collecting is learning about the historical, technical, and artistic
features associated with firearms. Gun shows provide members, and
the general public, a chance to appreciate these aspects.
If you collect guns, we invite you to join
UGCA.
Membership benefits include for free admission
to all UGCA shows, reduced table rates, and a great newsletter.

twenty Colts that were cut off for use a s "belly guns" or "avenging angels"

Here are four .36 caliber percussion revolvers, either model 1861
Navy or 1862 Police,

Mel M. brought "Guns of the Civil
War"
Mel is a government employee. The photo does not do justice
to the many historic Civil War pistols and carbines in the display.
He even had a piece of 130 year old "hardtack" bread that soldiers got
for rations.
