Fall is finally coming to Old Town, San Diego. Make sure to walk all the way down San Diego Avenue to the Sheriff's Museum. Many displays are hands-on; just right for lots of great photos to post.

My wife and I visited the museum last year,Sheriff Terry gave us the tour and,it was an absolute pleasure. Thanks to everyone who has made this museum possible and thanks to all law enforcement for there service.
Does your museum, or anyone else viewing this page, have information on old fi****ms carried and/or issued by the Sheriff's Department in the early 1900s? Specifically handguns around 1917? Any information would be appreciated, as I'm doing research revolving around SD Sheriff Conklin at the time.
