Unbelieveable Private Collection Of WW II Commonwealth Firearms

Too cool. Couldn't find this already posted on Milsurps, so:

Not Your Ordinary Collection

Must be nice to be a billionaire!

When I was very young back in the late '50s (1959, I think) a man in my tiny, rural Midwestern (US) town had a somewhat similar, but more eclectic, collection of military and cowboy firearms displayed in several large rooms of his farmhouse...full auto MGs/SMGs of various types, cowboy Winchesters and six-shooters, Civil War muskets, rifles, and swords, etc., etc. No special security except several large farm dogs, which in those days was probably enough (plus an intruder would face more than one loaded SMG...). I'd just turned old enough to join the Cubs, and learned this was an extremely popular place for my Cub Scout pack to visit. The Scout moms were very happy to have us ooh and aah over his collection (but no touching!).

My how times have changed.
