TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 5. 1957 From Youth to Gun Collection Many men who have served or who are still serving in the armed forces! have developed gun collections as a result of military service, but Capt. William F. Saunders, Marine instructor in the University NROTC unit, started his years before he became a Marine. Saunders was only a 12-year-old youngster in grammar school when he first became in terested in guns. Since that'time —lB years ago—he has built up a collection which is now insured for $2OOO. More Than 100 Firearms - Saunders has more than 100 firearms in his collection, which includes pistols and rifles from every war the United States has been in since the Revolution. Other weapons in his collection are swords, bayonets, machine guns and a practice aerial bomb. All of Saunders’ firearms are jin excellent condition, including I the oldest weapon of his collection I —an old muzzle-loading musket. H- does not acquire a gun unless it can actually be fired. Saunders, a 13-year Marine vet eran, collects primarily military weapons and he does not bother with the “oddities” that many gun collectors own. He buys most Of his weapons from dealers or pri vate individuals but a few were gathered in World War II and the Korean conflict. Most Prized Weapon A Civil War percussion revolv er is his most prized weapon. Known as a Freeman Revolver, it is one of the rarest of the Civil War guns. The reason he values the revolver so highly is that it was made in his hometown, Watertown, N.Y. The most expensive weapon in his collection is an Old Scotch flintlock pistoL which cost him $3OO. It is the most he has ever paid for a gun. Many of his guns have inter esting stories behind them, but one of the stories really stands ?ut in his mind. While stationed i' Cannes, France, some years ago, he ran across what he believed to be a .31-caliber Colt revolver worth around $75 or $lOO in the United States—in a shop.

Marine, Grows By LOU PRATO The storekeeper had two dozen of these weapons selling for $4 each. Saunders purchased five of them, thinking he had really dis covered something. But after in vestigating the matter he found out that the guns were not made m 1858 in the United States as he had been led to believe but were made in 1938 in Belgium. He got rid of all but one of the revolvers. Saunders has exhibited his col lection a number of times in the past but not in recent years. As a service man, he does a great deal of traveling, which hinders him from exhibiting his collection. This makes it impossible to carry the collection with him although he sometimes displays an indi vidual weapon to a class or group. T he entire collection is kept at the home of an aunt in Water town, N.Y.
