[QUOTE=BF;53171526]Why does preserving these antiques even matter? A quick Google image search of the MG08, Martini-Henry Rifle etc will show dozens of examples already preserved in museums around the world. Sure, if there isn’t already one in a museum, then put it in one. But if there are already many similar examples in museums, what’s the point in adding another? It would be much more productive to have it dismantled and recycled if possible.

How many museums would we need if we preserved absolutely everything that was old?[/QUOTE]

This is the attitude that enabled the Victorians to destroy hundreds of years worth of history and revise it in a grim light in order to make their own feotid, decadent era comprised of subjugation, rape, and urban rot seem wonderful by comparison.
