skatr2,

Thanks. I am aware of the George Harding collection. Of 1,500 items only 255 are on display. None of the thousands of books, catalogs and other documents that were part of the collection are on display. The Art Institute does not have a catalog available of the entire donation. But they have only had it about 20 or 30 years.

They have 69 items available on the web http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/armor/citi/search?collcatid=6&start=1 Unfortunately, it is not possible from the photos or descriptions to be sure of the barrel composition. There was a book, 128 pages, that was published in 1995.

I will check out the Cyril Smith book.
