Once the Browning Gun Shop was finished, the conservation crew went in and inventoried everything in the place. That was quite a job too.
One of the things we pulled off the wall prior to painting was this little plaque telling about the machine gun. I wasn't too keen on having it put back up on the wall using double sided stickies. My inventive Elder created a frame for it and it just sits on top of the gun. It can be hung on the wall if necessary.
Part of doing the inventory was to take the glass off of the gun cases (safes) and clean inside. That meant that all the items inside would have to be taken out.
Each item has a inventory number so they all needed to be taken out.
Dusting them and putting labels back that had fallen was part of the process.
There were quite a few Elders there ogling the guns as the glass was very heavy and needed several of them to lift it off.
These are museum pieces so they need to be handled very carefully.
This was a one of a kind event for these missionaries. I don't believe these gun cases are cleaned very often.
Not only guns but sabers or swords in the cases.
Notice the white gloves.
Elder Harker was having a good time too.
Putting on the White Gloves!
