Fairfax, Virginia - With the recent opening of their new exhibit “Theodore Roosevelt, Trappings on an Icon”, Senior Curator Phil Schreier brings NRANews into the National Firearms Museum for a close up look at one of the treasures: Roosevelt's tunic, hat and sword that he wore and used during the charge up San Juan Hill.

Thanks again to the National Park Service for allowing us to house these treasures while they complete their renovation of Sagamore Hill.

In this clip, Phil provides background on where the items were stored, where he was looking and how Brooks Brothers played a part in it all.

President Theodore Roosevelt Collection opening at NRA Museum

NRA Senior Curator Phil Schreier stands beside NRANews Executive Producer John Popp at National Firearms Museum's opening of Theodore Roosevelt collection.

Fairfax, Virginia - Late last year, the National Firearms Museum received a shipment from Sagamore Hill — the ancestral home of President Theodore Roosevelt. While Sagamore Hill undergoes renovation, the staff over at the National Parks Service was kind enough to lend a portion of the estate's collection to the NRA Museum. That collection now is on display under the exhibit named Trappings of an Icon.

Only 400 revolvers made before Smith & Wesson enforces patent

Fairfax, Virginia - Phil Schreier likes to make a splash when standing before the bright lights of NRANews. As Senior Curator for the National Firearms Museum, we've come to expect the same. A beautiful gun. A powerful gun. An unorthodox rarity that few have seldom seen. Something like the E.A. Prescott revolver.

"It's a .38 revolver," started Schreier. "Most would not guess that it is a Civil War period gun because there are no telltale percussion cones on the cylinder."

Civil War General's Breechloading Carbine appearing tonight

Fairfax, Virginia - Burnside. Carbine. The National Rifle Association. Is there a connection? There surely is.

General Ambrose Burnside had quite the storied career. A veteran of the Mexican-American War, the Western Frontier and the American Civil War, he spent the years between the Frontier and the Civil to work on a project … the Burnside Breechloading Percussion Carbine.

Fairfax, Virginia - Just because we missed the original airing of last week's Curator's Corner doesn't mean we're going to leave it in the weeds.

Finding the perfect gun for Curator's Corner is quite a daunting task. Sure, there are hundreds of them just lying around the National Firearms Museum ... but how do you keep track of them. What gun did you use last week? Last month? Last year? Making sure that he wasn't going go double up on us, Senior Curator Doug Wicklund reached into his own collection for a 1911 that belong to a long lost pilot from World War I.

Fairfax, Virginia - After Senior Curator Doug Wicklund made his 2012 debut last week on Curator's Corner with a Sharps Rifle, we were unsure as to where he would go next. After all, a gun with the history of the Sharps... how are you going to beat that? How about with a Burgess Folding Shotgun.
