In 1843, Jonathan Browning moved with his family from Quincy IL to Nauvoo IL and reestablished his gunsmith business on Main Street.

Browning’s business prospered while he was settle in Nauvoo. The guns he produced in Nauvoo IL possessed a unique engraved plate on the stock reading “Holiness to the Lord – Our Preservation.”

One of the great early gunsmiths, Browning is recognized as the man who invented the repeating rifle and six-shot repeater. His son, John Moses Browning, invented the automatic machine gun later on.

I don't have much room for buildings on my layout but, being something of an amateur gunsmith myself, I might just have to get that one. My collection does include a few Browning designs (John Moses, that is - not Jonathan). 

Jonathan, is his father. He moved from Quincy MA to Nauvoo IL.

Andre, any chance you'll ever make a Browning shop and store like the one he had in Ogden, Utah?

Any picture?

I found just this one.

 That's the only one I've ever seen, but I'll Contact the Browning museum in Ogden and see if they can come up with something.

If anyone lives near Ogden and hasn't seen the museum it's a place to visit.  It's in the old train station at the west end of 24th (or 25th) Street.  They have almost all of JMB's guns... including a bunch of prototypes that were never produced... cars and trains and much more.

Go.

Enjoy.
