Hello All, Theres a web site www.whitestruckstop.com that has pictures of their collection. I saw it first hand last week and I had never seen a snail drum in person until then. They have all kinds of pistols and daggers.Civil war until now, Enjoy! Best to ya Danny

I have seen this arsenal behind glass many times while traversing Interstate 81 and passing through Raphine, VA. Quite an interesting collection... I doubt that the owner of the collection risks much by having them displayed on the wall of the truck stop restaurant... I would imagine that this facility is well protected against armed entry with the guns you CAN'T see.

Where in West by God Virginia (and say it "reverently" as my Dad would say) are you Danny?

Hello John, Its a real shame Mr. White passed on , but as they say all our times are near. I bet he had some good stories about how he got those guns and daggers and how much he really gave for them. By the way John I,m in Beckley, West[BY GOD]Va. But I was raised as a kid on the oldest river,next to the Nile and the only river in the world to flow north, The New River.If you ever get this way give me an email before hand and I,ll show you my collection over what ever beverage you prefer. Best Regards Danny

You gotta get out of them hills more often.

And as does the St John's River in North east Florida.
