Only in French, but some rare and interesting rifles shown. This was posted on RossRifle.com too:



Notice the .280 with the Goerz Pernox scope, similar to discussed in this thread: http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=41600

I wonder if some, or most of these are from the 135 Ross rifles that Frank Dupuis donated to the National War Museum in the mid 1970`s

Most likely; I'm told they were also given a lot of the experimental and development "stuff" from the Ross factory, but chose to turf most of it in the 1970s or early 80s. Fortunately some was saved from the trash by my informant.

You'll hear the conservator claim it is the largest Ross collection.
