Cecil Whiteside Collection

This is my first post on AGN, though I made 2,300 on The Yellow many years ago.
I got sidetracked with powder-burners and airplanes for the past decade, but all the new airgun designs have me hooked again. I just bought a Giffard 8mm
from Davis Schwesinger, who is selling his 1000+ airgun collection.
We were talking about his old friend Cecil Whiteside's collection. I mentioned that I cataloged all of Cecil's guns in 2009 or 2010. I spent 4 days counting them
and wished that I'd taken pictures.
While searching through old pics today I found that I did!
I wanted to share them with Davis, and then thought maybe everyone might like to see them.
It looks like I can only post 20 pics at a time, but I have 158 broken into 69 groups.
If you want to see more, I'll try to add them in additional posts.

Just come across this post. I actually bought a webley Vulcan from Cecil prior to his passing when he was selling some of his collection. I used to frequent the Yellow forums. I remember when that forum started.
