Abstract
The collection of the dynastic gunsmiths Chiftalaryans, kept in the Armenian Ethnographic Museum, includes about 2200 museum items: tools for making gun barrels, presses, stamps, bullet moulds, hammers, etc., as well as pistol, rifle barrels and other details of firearm. The collection was formed mainly due to the scientific expeditions to Javakhk in 1978 and 1987. Although intermittently, the collection was constantly replenished. The latest achievement of the museum is the collection of donations from historian Hayk Demoyan. The collection could be divided into two parts: working tools and items made by the Chiftalarians and those of manufactured in Europian and Russian cities.
