Some mighty curious-looking shooting iron, there. One of them looks perhaps like the handle side of a sword that also manages to fling lead.

The craftsmanship on display in those early guns in the Cody Firearms Museum is pretty amazing. Beyond that, the sheer size of the collection--over 7000 in all, is kind of overwhelming. There are multiple "themed" rooms full of wall and window displays along with a couple of rooms full of both vertical and horizontal pull-out drawers. If you ever owned a gun manufactured by an American manufacturer, you could probably find and example of it at the Cody Museum. And if guns aren't your thing, the Buffalo Bill Center of the West has 4 other museums, all worth seeing.

Isn't that a place where we stopped when driving Mac west on the Baja-on-the-Road tour? The place with the miniature Wild West display?

That was the Fort Cody Trading Post in North Platte NE.
