Key Gun to go on Display in Britain
Friday September 26, 2008
The gun fired by an assassin in his, successful, attempt to kill Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, thereby triggering the powder-keg of European politics and leading directly to the start of World War One, is to go on display in Britain for the first time. I must admit to a certain morbid interest in seeing the item, which will be on show in the Imperial War Museum in London, but alas for an agoraphobic even forty minutes on the train is too far. Sadly the news item I saw didn’t have a picture, but if you do know of one please let me know in the comments.
