Origins Of The Norton .45 Luger...?

I have lived here 5 years and hadn't been until today. I will certainly go back and recommend it as a must see and not as a firearms museum, but as a fine art museum. I thought the guns were well displayed for the most part, with only one or two tucked into corners or not well lit (the .45 Luger is not one of them). The first gun you pass as you enter the gallery is a Mauser 1878 revolver carbine and one of the last is a rather common Hammerli free pistol with custom grips. The art of E.C. Prudhomme is well represented. A good assortment of stocked pistols is represented, from C96s to Astras to Brownings and even a Colt Pre-woodsman and one of the experimental 1911 carbines that competed against and lost to the M1 carbine .30 calibre.
