The small arms school museum at Warminster which Martin mentions is absolutely brilliant and well worth the visit I was fortunate to be a guest of the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters when they where demonstration battalion a few years ago and I went around the small arms school museum that day it is very interesting with evry weapon ever used in it the smallest was a revolver made by the provisional IRA get a application in for a visit and you will have a day out to remember.

Yes. I'd like to think that someday I'll be able to visit the museum and the others mentioned on this site. Coll |

Coll,
Another place you could consider is Baptys. They are film armourers based near Heathrow and have a wide selection of weaponry including Martinis (they supplied the ones for Zulu!). Cheers Barry |

Since this topic, has anyone been to this collection and managed to get the hands-on experience with any Zulu War related firearms ?
Thanks Coll |

Don't they have firearms auctions in the British Isles? You're pretty much expected to handle any or all the guns at the preview
I do know they have gun shows as I attended one in London a couple years back and handled at least a dozen different Martinis as well as Besses, Brunswicks and many, many much rarer firearms. All you have to do is look as though you can afford his offerings (or at least look as though you know someone who can) and the seller will practically throw them into your hands. |

I put on a full Hands on of seven Martini's, Swinburns, Sniders, and Bill put on his Westley Richards at the 6/7th August lectures at Brecon.
