Collection of Firearms
Guns and pistols from ancient to present times, sufficient to supply a small army, are owned by a Hollywood firearms collector who supplies the movies with any kind of weapon from an old flintlock gun to a modern submachine rifle. About 7000 pieces arc included in the collection of guns, pistols, machine guns, field pieces, swords, and bayonets. In the armoury are weapons of every period, and from all countries of. the world. The early periods in American history arc represented by corresponding flrcavms in volume in order to supply the large number of extras appearing in historical productions. These guns graduate from the old smoothbore of the days of the Pilgrim tsl< V' s to the regulation army rifles used in the world war. , Machine guns of every make ever used are included in the collection, and are equipped for mounting in trenches, on carriages or aeroplanes. Ammunition for all the pieces is also kept on hand, this including about 300,000 rounds of blank cartridge.
