... and man was it crowded. Lots of rifles and handguns being bought as Christmas gifts. All Ann wanted were some books though, she says she is happy with her pistol though she says she wants some pink grips for it. (Don't laugh, she's serious.)
I was surprised to see an honest to goodness piece of artillery on display, a 5 barrel 2" Hotchkiss rotary cannon on a field carrage. The owner says this thing is not a mock up but the real thing though from the overall excellent condition I would say it is a recreation.
The first site shows a gun and carrage similar to the one on display:

And of course a naval mount:

He also had a "Ma Duece" set up with some kind of sighting system mounted on it, maybe a low light system?
