I am probably the newest member of W.A.C.A., thanks to Jim Curlovic.  My Winchester interest is primarily the Winchester-Hotchkiss cavalry carbine and everything associated with it.  I am a Life Member of the N.R.A and The Virginia Gun Collector’s Association.  I am also a member of the American Society Arms Collectors.  My overall collecting interests include Colonial and American Shoulder Arms from the French and Indian War to 1855, Harpers Ferry longarms, Virginia associated shoulder arms and carbines of the U.S. Dragoons and Cavalry.  I hope meet more of you either in person or online.  Lastly, I wish to again thank Jim Curlovic for his kindness and time regarding my pursuit of the Winchester-Hotckiss story.
