The Royal Governor’s Palace.

The governor’s palace in Colonial Williamsburg.

There are over 540 weapons on display in the governor’s palace. Colonial Williamsburg has the largest revolutionary war weapons collection and the largest replica weapons collection.

The English were the first ones to industrialize warfare. Different parts of the musket were fabricated in different locations in the kingdom and then sent to the tower of London. Once assembled the musket would be test fired. If it successfully fired 3 times it would receive the proof mark. GR with a crown (king George). You can tell the originals from the replicas in the palace by the proof mark which looks like a little dimple.
