Last week I was in Arizona. My wife and I are considering a move, but Phoenix is out because of her dysfunctional family. Neither of us can deal with them, so the search for a new city to live in continues. But I did get a chance to finally visit the Arizona Military Museum. What a wonderful little museum! Here are some photos:
A uniform from the Indian-Wars and Spanish-American War. This is the dress blues, as opposed to the summer whites.
A Colt-Browning M1895 Machine Gun, also known as the "Potato Digger." This was from the Spanish-American War. I had heard that Mr. Tiffany, owner of Tiffany's Jewelry Store in New York City, bought two for his son, who served with Teddy Roosevelt in the Rough Riders.
A Mexican Army Hat, circa 1900
Sorry that the picture isn't better, but I didn't have my good camera. This is a Mexican Pickelhaube:
And here is one for Gus, his favorite gun from WWI... the infamous Chauchat
Some other long guns from World War I, note the notorious "Trench Gun!"
