| Description | Jacksonville attorney Phillip A. Buhler, a collector of antique firearms, will exhibit and talk about some of his historic guns. Buhler will bring an exhibit of more than 20 firearms that show advances in U.S. military development in the 1800s, as well as important and rare firearms from the major European powers during that time. He will demonstrate the progress of firearms from the end of the flintlock era in the late 1700s through the breech-loading military muskets and rifles of the 1800s and early 1900s. He will also address the impact of these firearms on American and European history. Buhler started collecting antique firearms in the 1980s. His collection includes firearms from the early 1800s through World War II. Buhler is also known for conducting living history programs and reenactments that focus on the Seminole War, Mexican War, and the American Civil War. INFO: (904) 268-0784 |
