Part 2/6:
Starting off the exploration, the group encounters a traverse mechanism designed for the famous .450 Browning rifles, a staple in armament collections. The mention of classics like the Belgian pistols from the 1880s and 1890s highlights the richness of the collection, which includes not only firearms but also various flare guns from several nations, illustrating the historical significance of these pieces.
As the tour permeates deeper into the vault, attention shifts to various tooling and machining equipment. The group points out an eclectic mix of vintage measurement tools, adaptors, and a unique mailing attachment for an Atlas Wave, which spark conversations about their uses in early manufacturing and craftsmanship.
