#1: St Louis Veterans Home-Parrott Rifle and Unknown (ID Help?) Author: ShermanWasRight, Location: Central Ohio/Northern KentuckyPosted: Sat Jun 20, 2009 12:37 pm ---- There were also these two displayed outside the Veterans home. The Parrott Rifle is a replica according to the plaque:
I swear I recognise this type of gun from somewhere, but I can't remember what it was called. If anyone could ID it I'd appreciate it
That's all I've got for now. I've got some stuff mapped out in Denver, but I don't know if I'll be able to convince my parents to stop, or how often we'll be in Denver.
